Psalms 86:1-17
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I[ am] poor and needy.Preserve my soul; for I[ am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.For thou, Lord,[ art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.Among the gods[ there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; neither[ are there any works] like unto thy works.All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.For thou[ art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou[ art] God alone.Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.For great[ is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent[ men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.But thou, O Lord,[ art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see[ it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Psalms 7:1-17
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending[ it] in pieces, while[ there is] none to deliver.O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;( yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take[ it]; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me[ to] the judgment[ that] thou hast commanded.So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity[ that is] in me.Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.My defence[ is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry[ with the wicked] every day.If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch[ which] he made.His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Psalms 90:1-17
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou[ art] God.Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.For a thousand years in thy sight[ are but] as yesterday when it is past, and[ as] a watch in the night.Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are[ as] a sleep: in the morning[ they are] like grass[ which] groweth up.In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret[ sins] in the light of thy countenance.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale[ that is told].The days of our years[ are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength[ they be] fourscore years, yet[ is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear,[ so is] thy wrath.So teach[ us] to number our days, that we may apply[ our] hearts unto wisdom.Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.Make us glad according to the days[ wherein] thou hast afflicted us,[ and] the years[ wherein] we have seen evil.Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
