TEXT: Psalm 86:1-7

1. Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me;

For I am poor and needy.

2. Preserve my life, for I am holy;

You are my God;

Save Your servant who trusts in You!

3. Be merciful to me, O Lord,

For I cry to You all day long.

4. Rejoice the soul of Your servant,

For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5. For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

6. Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;

And attend to the voice of my supplications.

7. In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,

For You will answer me.

(New King James Version Holy Bible)
