PSAL LXXXVI. Second Meeter
by Anonymous
Lord bow thine ear, hear me, because I needy am and poor: 2 Because a gracious Saint I am, preserve my soul therefore. O thou my God, thy servant save, that doth on thee rely. To me be gracious Lord, because to thee I daily cry.
Rejoyce thy servants soul, for Lord to thee mine lift I do: Because Jehovah thou art good, to pardon prone also: And to them all in mercy rich thou art that on thee call. Lord hear my pray'r, attend the voice of my requests withal.
I in my troubles on thee call, for thou wilt answer me. Lord none's like thee among the gods and like thy works none be. The nations all whom thou hast made shall come, and (Lord) the same Before thee shall bow down themselves, and glorifie thy Name.
Because thou mighty art, also the things that thou hast done They wondrous are, and do declare that thou art God alone. Me, O Jehovah, teach thy way walk in thy truth will I: With reverence to fear thy Name my heart in union ty.
Thee Lord, my God, with all my heart I will confess with praise: And likewise I will glorifie thy holy name always. Because thy kindness merciful is very great to me. And thou hast from the lowest hell my soul delivered free.
O God the proud against me rise and troops of violent men Have sought my soul and they have not thee placed before them. But Lord thou art a tender God, and very gracious, Long-suffering too: in mercy thou and truth art plenteous.
O turn thou unto me thy face and on me mercy have, Unto thy servant give thy strength, thine hand-maids son O save. Show me a sign for good, that they which hate me may it see, And be asham'd, because Lord thou dost help and comfort me.
