Psalms 86
86
A Prayer by David.
1Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3Be merciful to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
for you will answer me.
8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
nor any deeds like your deeds.
9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They shall glorify your name.
10For you are great, and do wondrous things.
You are God alone.
11Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I will glorify your name forever more.
13For your loving kindness is great toward me.
You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.#86:13 Sheol is the place of the dead.
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.
15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give your strength to your servant.
Save the son of your servant.
17Show me a sign of your goodness,
that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed,
because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

for I am #Ps. 40:17poor and needy.

save your servant, who #See Ps. 11:1trusts in you—you are my God.
3 # ver. 16; Ps. 56:1; 57:1; See Ps. 4:1 Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.

listen to my plea for grace.
7In #See Ps. 77:2 the day of my trouble I call upon you,
#
Ps. 17:6
for you answer me.
8There is #[Ps. 89:6; Ex. 15:11] none like you among the gods, O Lord,
#
Deut. 3:24
nor are there any works like yours.
9 #
Ps. 66:4; [Ps. 22:31; 65:2; Isa. 66:23; Zech. 14:18; Rev. 15:4] All the nations you have made shall come

and save #See Ps. 116:16the son of your maidservant.
17 # [Judg. 6:17] Show me a sign of your #Neh. 5:19; 13:31favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
