Psalm 86

A Prayer by David.

 ^86:1Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,
      For I am poor and needy.

 ^86:2Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
      You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

 ^86:3Be merciful to me, Lord,
      For I call to you all day long.

 ^86:4Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
      For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

 ^86:5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
      Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you.

 ^86:6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
      Listen to the voice of my petitions.

 ^86:7In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
      For you will answer me.

 ^86:8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
      Nor any deeds like your deeds.

 ^86:9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
      They shall glorify your name.

 ^86:10For you are great, and do wondrous things.
      You are God alone.

 ^86:11Teach me your way, Yahweh.
      I will walk in your truth.
      Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

 ^86:12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
      I will glorify your name forevermore.

 ^86:13For your lovingkindness is great toward me.
      You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

 ^86:14God, the proud have risen up against me.
      A company of violent men have sought after my soul,
      And they don't hold regard for you before them.

 ^86:15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
      Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

 ^86:16Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
      Give your strength to your servant.
      Save the son of your handmaid.

 ^86:17Show me a sign of your goodness,
      That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
      Because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
