Inclina Domine. Psal. 86.

BOwe downe thine eare, * 1.1 O Lord, and heare mee: for I am poore, and in miserie.

Preserue thou my soule, for I am holy: my God saue thy seruant that putteth his trust in thee.

Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I will call dayly vpon thee.

Comfort the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I list vp my soule.

For thou Lord art good and gracious: and of great mer∣cie vnto all them that call vpon thee.

Giue eare Lord vnto my prayer: and ponder the voyce of mine humble desires.

In the time of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.

Among the good there is none like vnto thou, O Lorde: there is not one that can doe as thou doest.

All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and wor∣ship thee, O Lord: and shall glorisie thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

Teach mee thy may, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: O knit my heart vnto thee, y^t I may feare thy name:

I will thanke thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and will praise thy Name for euermore.

For great is thy mercie toward me: and thou hast deliue∣red my soule from the nethermost hell.

O God, the proud are risen as against me: and the Congre∣gations

of naughty men haue sought after my soule, and haue not set thee before their eyes.

But thou (O Lord God) art full of compassion and) mer∣tie: long suffering, plenteous in goodnesse and trueth.

O turne thee then vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon mee: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and helpe the sonne of thine handmaid.

Shew some good token vpon me for good, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed: because thou Lord hast holpen me, and comforten me.
