A Prayer of Faith
King David’s prayer
1Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.
I am in deep trouble. I’m broken and humbled,
and I desperately need your help.
2Guard my life, for I’m your faithful friend, your loyal servant for life.
I turn to you in faith, my God, my hero; come and rescue me!
3Lord God, hear my constant cry for help;
show me your favor and bring me to your fountain of grace!
4Restore joy to your loving servant once again,
for all I am is yours, O God.
5Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way # 86:5 The Septuagint reads “You’re my provider.”
and ready to forgive,
for your grace-fountain keeps overflowing,
drenching all your devoted lovers who pray to you.
6God, won’t you pay attention to this urgent cry?
Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.
7Whenever trouble strikes, I will keep crying out to you,
for I know your help is on the way.
8God, there’s no one like you;
there’s no other god as famous as you.
You outshine all others, and your miracles make it easy to know you.
9Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations.
Look at them—they’re all on their way!
Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you
and put your glory on display.
10You are the one and only God.
What miracles! What wonders! What greatness belongs to you!
11Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move,
so that I can walk onward in your truth
until everything within me brings honor to your name.
12With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God!
I will give glory to your name, always and forever!
13You love me so much, and you have placed your greatness upon me. # 86:13 As translated from the Aramaic.
You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness,
and you have delivered me from a certain death.
14God, look at how these arrogant ones have defied me.
Like a vicious band of violent men, they have tried to kill me.
They wouldn’t worry for a moment that they were sinning against you!
15But Lord, your nurturing love is tender and gentle.
You are slow to get angry yet so swift to show your faithful love.
You are full of abounding grace and truth. # 86:15 As translated from the Aramaic and the Septuagint.
16Bring me to your grace-fountain
so that your strength becomes mine.
Be my hero and come rescue your servant once again!
17Send me a miraculous sign to show me how much you love me,
so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed.
Don’t they know that you, Lord, are my comforter,
the one who comes to help me?

A Cry for Help
A prayer of David.
1Lord, listen to me and answer me.
I am poor and helpless.
2Protect me, because I worship you.
My God, save me, your servant.
I trust in you.
3Lord, be merciful to me.
I have called to you all day.
4Give happiness to me, your servant.
Lord, I give my life to you.
5Lord, you are kind and forgiving.
You have great love for those who call to you.
6Lord, hear my prayer.
Listen when I ask for mercy.
7I call to you in times of trouble.
You certainly will answer me.
8Lord, there is no god like you.
There are no works like yours.
9Lord, all the nations you have made
will come and worship you.
They will honor you.
10You are great, and you do miracles.
Only you are God.
11Lord, teach me what you want me to do.
And I will live by your truth.
Teach me to respect you completely.
12Lord, my God, I will praise you with all my heart.
I will honor your name forever.
13You have great love for me.
You have saved me from death.
14God, proud men turn against me.
A gang of cruel men are trying to kill me.
They do not respect you.
15But Lord, you are a God who shows mercy and is kind.
You don’t become angry quickly.
You have great love and faithfulness.
16Turn to me and be merciful.
Give me, your servant, strength.
Save me, the son of your female servant.
17Show me a sign of your goodness.
When my enemies look, they will be ashamed.
You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
