I WILL WALK IN THY TRUTH

Patricia Ziegler

 O LORD, hear me: for I am poor 

and needy.  Preserve my soul; for I am holy: 

O thou my God, save thy servant that 

trusteth in thee.  Be merciful unto me, 

O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

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 plenteous in 

mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; 

and attend to the voice of my 

supplications. In the day of my 

trouble I will call upon thee: for thou 

wilt answer me. Among the gods there is 

none like unto thee, 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 shall glorify thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous 

things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, 

O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my 

heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord 

my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify 

thy name for evermore.  For great is thy mercy 

toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul 

from the lowest hell.  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. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of 

compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and 

plenteous in mercy and truth.  O turn unto me, 

and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto 

thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me 

may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, 

LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

PSALM 86
