Psalm 86 (Excerpt): Prayers and Poetry

                 Psalm 86 (Excerpt)

                "In the day of my trouble

                I shall call upon Thee,

                For Thou wilt answer me.

                There is no one like Thee

                among the gods, O Lord;

                Nor are there any works like Thine.

                All nations whom Thou hast made

                Shall come and worship

                before Thee, O Lord;

                And they shall glorify Thy name.

                For Thou art great and doest

                wondrous deeds;

                Thou alone art God.

                Teach me Thy way, O Lord;

                I will walk in Thy truth;

                Unite my heart to fear Thy name.

                I will give thanks to Thee,

                O Lord my God

                with all my heart.

                And will glorify Thy name for ever."

Matthew 5:12: "Rejoice and be glad for your reward in heaven is great; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
