Psalm 86

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; save your servant who trusts in you.

You are my God; be gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all day long.

Gladden the soul of your servant, for to You, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in unfailing love to all who call on you.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, listen to my urgent cry

I will call on you whenever trouble strikes, and you will answer me.

There are none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.

All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord, and they will glorify your name.

For you are great and do wonderous things; You alone are God.

Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart that I might fear your name.

I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forever.

For great is your steadfast love for me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave.

O God, arrogant men are attacking me, a band of violent men are trying to take my soul; and you mean nothing to them.

But you, O Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and truth.

Turn to me and take pity on me; give strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
