Psalm 86 v.9-17 parts

*********

All nations, O LORD, who you have made

Shall come, and none shall fade

Shall come, and none shall fade

Worship before you, glorify

Your name, and know you nigh

Your name, and know you nigh

Your name, your name, and know you nigh

 

For you are great, and wonders do

You God alone and true

You God alone and true

Teach me your way, O LORD, I will

Walk in your truth here still

Walk in your truth here still

Walk in, walk in your truth here still

 

Unite my heart to your name fear

In awe, reverence here

In awe, reverence here

I will, O Lord my God, praise you

With all my heart I do

With all my heart I do

With all, with all my heart I do

 

And I will your name glorify

E'ermore with no deny

E'ermore with no deny

For great is your mercy to me

Your saving help I see

Your saving help I see

Your saving, your saving help I see

 

For you saved me from depths of hell

From low places, I tell

From low places, I tell

Though enemies against me rise

You her my troubles, sighs

You hear my troubles, sighs

You hear, you hear my troubles. sighs

 

For you, O Lord, are a God full

Of compassion to all

Of compassion to all

And gracious, longsuffering be

Plenty truth and mercy

Plenty truth and mercy

Plenty, plenty truth and mercy

 

O turn to me, and have mercy

Upon me, my strength be

Upon me, my strength be

Save me, show me for good a sign

Shame those who me malign

Shame those who me malign

Shame those, shame those who me malign

 

That too enemies your good may see

And know that too freely

And know that too freely

You LORD have helped and comforted

Me, kept me in safe stead

Me, kept me in safe stead

Me, kept, me kept me in safe stead
