Psalms, Chapter 86

1. A Prayer of David O Jehovah, bow down Your ear, answer me, for I am poor and needy.    2. Guard my soul, for I am godly; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.    3. Be gracious to Me, O Lord, for I cry to You daily.    4. Give joy to the soul of Your servant; for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.    5. For You, O Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and rich in mercy to all who call on You.    6. O Lord, give ear to my prayer; listen to my voice of supplications.    7. I will call on You in the day of my trouble, for You will answer me.    8. None among the gods is like You, O Lord, and none are like Your works.    9. All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You; yea, Lord, they shall glorify Your name.    10. For You are great and do wonderful things; You alone are God.    11. Teach me Your way, O Jehovah; I will walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.    12. With all my heart I will thank You, O Lord my God; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.    13. For Your mercy toward me is great; and You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.    14. O God, the proud have risen against me; and the troop of the violent have sought after my life, and have not set You before their eyes.    15. But You, O God, are God, full of pity; and gracious, longsuffering and rich in mercy and truth.    16. O turn to me and be gracious to me; give Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.    17. Show me a token for good, that those who hate me may see and be ashamed, O Jehovah, because You have helped me and comforted me.
