Psalm 85 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

1 A prayer to David himself. Incline thine ear, o Lord, & hear me: because I am needy and poor.

2 Keep my soul, because I am holy: save thy servant my God, that hopeth in thee.

3 Have mercy on me, o Lord, because I have cried to thee all the day:

4 make joyful the soul of thy servant, because to thee, o Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

5 Because thou, o Lord, art sweet, and mild: and of much mercy to all that invocate thee.

6 Receive, o Lord, my prayer with thine ears: and attend to the voice of my petition.

7 In the day of my tribulation I have called to thee: because thou hast heard me.

8 There is not the like to thee amongst gods, o Lord: and there is not according to thy works.

9 All nations whatsoever thou hast made, shall come, and shall adore before thee, o Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.

10 Because thou art great and doing marvelous things: thou only art God.

11 Conduct me, o Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.

12 I will confess to thee, o Lord my God, with all my heart, and will glorify thy name for ever.

13 Because thy mercy is great upon me: & thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.

14 O God the wicked are risen up upon me, and the synagogue of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee in their sight.

15 And thou, o Lord, the God of compassion and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

16 Have respect to me and have mercy on me, give thine empire to thy servant: and save the son of thy handmaid.

17 Make with me a sign unto God, that they may see which hate me, and may be confounded: because thou o Lord hast holpen me.
