Psalm 86:3 – 5, 11 – 13
Be merciful to me, O Lord, for you are my God : I call upon you all the day long.
Gladden the soul of your servant : for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving : and great is your love toward all who call upon you.
Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth : knit my heart to you that I may fear your name.
I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart : and glorify your name for evermore.
For great is your love toward me : you have delivered me from the nethermost pit.
