3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call upon thee every day.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul,

5 For thou, O Lord, art gracious, and merciful, and abundant in mercy unto all that call upon thee.

6 Hear, O Lord, my prayer, and hearken unto the voice of my supplication.

7 In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, for thou shalt hear me.

8 There is none among the gods like you, O Lord, and there are no works like yours.

9 All the nations that you have created will come and worship you, O Lord, and glorify your name,

10 For thou art great, and doest wonders, Thou art one, O God.

11 Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth; strengthen my heart in the fear of Thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and praise thy name for ever,

13 For great is thy mercy unto me: thou hast delivered my soul from the pit of hell.

14 God! the proud have risen up against me, and the crowd of rebels seek my soul: they do not present Thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, God who art merciful, and merciful, long-suffering, and abundantly merciful, and true,

16 Look upon me, and have mercy on me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thy servant;

17 Show me a sign for good, that they that hate me may see and be ashamed, for thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Psalm 86

1 The sons of Korah. Psalm. Canto.

2 His foundation is on the mountains of saints. The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the villages of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are proclaimed of thee, O city of God!

4 I will mention to those who know me about Rahab and Babylon; behold, the Philistines, and Tyre, and Ethiopia, will say, 'So-and-so was born there.'

5 And of Zion it will be said, 'So-and-so a man was born in it, and the Most High himself strengthened him.'
