Psalms 86:1-17
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Psalms 7:1-17
O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me( Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust.[ SelahArise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.

Psalms 90:1-17
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling- place In all generations.Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
