O Be Merciful To Me
Psalm 86
Dwight Armstrong

Give ear, O God, and answer me, for I am most wretched;
O save my life, Your servant save, for I put my trust in You.
O be merciful to me, for to You I daily cry;
For You are good, and You forgive those who call upon your Name.

When trouble comes, I call on You, for it's You who answers me.
Among the gods none is like You; You alone are God indeed!
Neither are there any works like the wonders You perform!
Nations You made shall bow to You, and shall glorify Your name!

Teach me Your way, O Lord my God, that I may walk in Your truth.
Lead me to live loyal to You; with my whole heart praise Your name!
For Your mercy is most great; from the grave You saved my life!
Great is Your love, Eternal God, I shall glorify Your name!

Proud men arise, seeking my life; men who do not care for You.
But You, O Lord, are a great God, full of mercy, grace and truth.
turn to me and pity me, grant Your servant strength, O God;
Show unto me Your favor, God that my foe may be ashamed.
