Psalm (86) for the Third Sunday after Pentecost

1 Incline your ear to me O | God and | answer me:
for | I am | poor • and in | misery.
2 Preserve my life for | I am | faithful:
my God save your servant who | puts his | trust in | you,

3 Be merciful to | me O | Lord:
for I | call to • you | all the • day | long.
4 O make glad the | soul of • your | servant:
for I put my | hope in | you O | Lord.

5 For you Lord are | good • and for | giving:
of great and continuing kindness to | all who | call up| on you.
6 Hear my | prayer O | Lord :
and give heed to the | voice • of my | suppli | cation.

7 In the day of my trouble I | call up |on you:
for | you will | surely | answer.
8 Among the gods there is none like | you O | Lord:
nor are there | any | deeds like | yours.

9 All the nations you have made shall come and | worship • be| fore you:
O Lord they shall | glori | fy your | name.
10 For you are great and do | marvel- lous | things:
and | you a | lone are | God.

16 Turn to me and be merciful
give your | strength • to your | servant:
and | save the | son of • your | handmaid.
17 Show me some token | of your | goodness:
that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed
because you Lord are my | helper | and my | comforter.
