Psalms - Chapter 85

Passage

A prayer for David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor. Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save your servant, O my God, that trusts in you. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to you all the day. Give joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul. For you, O Lord, are sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition. I have called upon you in the day of my trouble: because you have heard me. There is none among the gods like to you, O Lord: and there is none according to your works. All the nations you have made shall come and adore before you, O Lord: and they shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wonderful things: you are God alone. Conduct me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name for ever: For your mercy is great towards me: and you have delivered my soul out of the lower hell. O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set you before their eyes. And you, O Lord, are a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true. O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give your command to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid. Show me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because you, O Lord, have helped me and have comforted me.
