Psalms 86:2

Preserve my soul - Keep it as in a strong place.

For I am holy - אני חשיד כי ki chasid ani , for I am merciful. The spirit of this prayer is,

"The mercy I to others show,

That mercy show to me!"

Save thy servant - I have long taken thee as my Master and Lord; I receive the word from thy mouth, and obey thee.
