CHAP. LXXXVI.

1 Dauid strengtheneth his prayer by the conscience of his Religion, 5 by the goodnesse and power of God. 11 He desireth the continuance of former grace. 14 Complayning of the proud, he craueth some token of Gods goodnesse.

¹ [A prayer of Dauid.] Bow downe thine eare, O Lord, heare me: for I am poore & needy.

² Preserue my soule, for I am holy: O thou my God, saue thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.²

³ Be merciful vnto me, O Lord: for I cry vnto thee daily.³

⁴ Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee (O Lord) doe I lift vp my soule.

⁵ For thou Lord art good, and ready to forgiue: and plenteous in mercie vnto all them that call vpon thee.⁵

⁶ Giue eare O Lord, vnto my prayer: and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou wilt answere mee.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like vnto thee (O Lord:) neither are there any workes like vnto thy workes.⁸

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord: and shall glorifie thy Name.

¹⁰ For thou art great, and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.¹⁰

¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord, I will walke in thy trueth: vnite my heart to feare thy Name.¹¹

¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I wil glorifie thy Name for euermore.

¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest hell.¹³

¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against mee, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought after my soule: and haue not set thee before them.¹⁴

¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious: long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and trueth.¹⁵

¹⁶ O turne vnto me, and haue mercie vpon me, giue thy strength vnto thy seruant: and saue the sonne of thine handmaid.

¹⁷ Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and bee ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
