A Prayer for God's Continued Mercy |
|
| 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. |
|
|
| 7 |
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
|
| 8 |
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
| | |
neither are there any works like unto thy works. |
|
|
| 9 |
All nations whom thou hast made
| | |
shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; |
|
and shall glorify thy name. Rev. 15.4 |
|
|
| 10 |
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
|
| 11 |
Teach me thy way, O LORD;
| | |
I will walk in thy truth: |
|
unite my heart to fear thy name. |
|
|
| 12 |
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
| | |
and I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
|
|
| 13 |
For great is thy mercy toward me:
| | |
and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. |
|
|
| 14 |
O God, the proud are risen against me,
| | |
and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; |
|
and have not set thee before them. |
|
|
| 15 |
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
| | |
long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. |
|
|
| 16 |
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
| | |
give thy strength unto thy servant, |
|
and save the son of thine handmaid. |
|
|
| 17 |
Show me a token for good;
| | |
that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: |
|
because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me. |
|
