Psa. 86:1‑17• 1A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
2Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.
3Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
11Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.
15But thou, Lord, art a *God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
16Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me. (Psa. 86:1‑17)
Psa. 90:1‑17• 1A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, *thou* hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art *God.
3Thou makest mortal man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
4For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that groweth up:
6In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a passing thought.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
12So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
13Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
17And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it. (Psa. 90:1‑17)
