Psalm 86

DO thou, O Lord, bow downn thine ear,
and hear me graciously,
And help me, and consider, Lord,
that poor and weak am I.
Preserve my soul, for I am one
that favour'd is by thee,
O thou my God, thy servant save,
that puts his trust in thee.

Be merciful to me, O Lord,
to thee I daily cry.
Rejoice thy servants soul, O Lord,
for unto thee do I
Lift up my soul, thou Lord art good,
and pardon'st graciously,
And unto those that call on thee,
shew'st mercy plenteously.

When I unto thee pray, O Lord,
attend and bow thine ear,
And of my supplications,
the voice be pleas'd to hear.
In time when troubles compasse me,
I will to thee complain,
For certainly I know that thou
wilt answer me again.

Amongst such as are Gods esteem'd,
none, Lord, is like to thee,
Nor any works unto thy works,
may once compared bee.
The nations all throughout the world
which thou didst make and frame,
Before thee come, and worship shall,
and glorifie thy name.

The Second Part.

For thou, Lord, art exceeding great,
all power is thine own,
Thou workest strange and wondrous things,
for thou art God alone.
Teach me thy way of truth, O Lord,
I will walk in the same;
Unite my heart and soul in one
to fear thy holy name.

Thee will I praise, O Lord my God,
with all my heart; and I
For ever more thine holy name
will highly glorifie.
Because thy mercy towards me
in greatnesse doth excell,
My self thou hast delivered
even from the lowest hell.

O God, the proud against me rise,
terrible men are met
In Troups, to seek my life, they have
not thee before them set.
But thou, full of compassion, Lord,
and gracious, hast been found,
Long-suffering, and in mercy, and
in truth thou dost abound.

O turn thee unto me, O Lord,
and mercy on me have,
Strengthen thy servant, and the son
of thine own handmaid save.
On me some sign of favour shew,
that all my foes may see,
And be ashamed, Lord, when thou
dost help and comfort mee.
