85

1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.

2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.

3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.

4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

5For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.

7I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.

8There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.

9All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.

11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:

13For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.

14O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.

15And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

16O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

17Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
