Psalmes 86

P S A L. LXXXV.

1 The Psalmist out of the experience of former mercies prayeth for the continuance thereof. 8 He promiseth to waite thereon, out of confidence of Gods goodnesse.

¶ [fn]To the chiefe musician, a Psalme for the sonnes of Korah.

LXXXVI ¶ LORD, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought backe the captiuity of Iacob. 2 [ref]Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, thou hast couered all their sinne. Selah. 3 [fn]Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thy selfe from the fiercenesse of thine anger. 4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation: and cause thine anger towards vs to cease. 5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? wilt thou drawe out thine anger to all generations? 6 Wilt thou not reuiue vs againe: that thy people may reioyce in thee? 7 Shew vs thy mercy, O LORD; and graunt vs thy saluation. 8 I will heare what God the LORD will speake: for hee will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saints: but let them not turne againe to folly. 9 Surely his saluation is nigh them that feare him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together: righteousnesse and peace haue kissed each other. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth: and righteousnesse shall looke downe from heauen. 12 Yea the LORD shall giue that which is good: and our land shall yeeld her increase. 13 Righteousnes shall go before him: and shall set vs in the way of his steps.

P S A L. LXXXVI.

1 Dauid strengtheneth his prayer by the conscience of his Religion, 5 by the goodnesse and power of God. 11 He desireth the continuance of former grace. 14 Complayning of the proud, he craueth some token of Gods goodnesse.

¶ A prayer of Dauid.

LXXXVI ¶ Bow downe thine eare, O LORD, heare me: for I am poore & needy. 2 [fn]Preserue my soule, for I am holy: O thou my God, saue thy seruant, that trusteth in thee. 3 [fn]Be merciful vnto me, O LORD: for I cry vnto thee daily. 4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee (O LORD) doe I lift vp my soule. 5 [ref]For thou LORD art good, and ready to forgiue: and plenteous in mercie vnto all them that call vpon thee. 6 Giue eare O LORD, vnto my prayer: and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou wilt answere mee. 8 [ref]Among the gods there is none like vnto thee (O LORD:) neither are there any workes like vnto thy workes. 9 All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O LORD: and shall glorifie thy Name. 10 [ref]For thou art great, and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone. 11 [ref]Teach me thy way, O LORD, I will walke in thy trueth: vnite my heart to feare thy Name. 12 I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I wil glorifie thy Name for euermore. 13 [fn]For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest hell. 14 [fn]O God, the proud are risen against mee, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought after my soule: and haue not set thee before them. 15 [ref]But thou, O LORD, art a God full of compassion, and gracious: long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and trueth. 16 O turne vnto me, and haue mercie vpon me, giue thy strength vnto thy seruant: and saue the sonne of thine handmaid. 17 Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and bee ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
