Psalms 86
Intro: Final triumph of God's government. (A Prayer of David.)

1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me; for I am poor and needy.

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

3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for I cry unto thee daily.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
