Psalm 86
86
Great Is Your Steadfast Love
# [Ps. 72:20] A Prayer of David.
1 # See Ps. 31:2 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am #Ps. 40:17poor and needy.
2Preserve my life, for I am #See Ps. 50:5 godly;
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.
4Gladden the soul of your servant,
for #See Ps. 25:1to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, O Lord, are good and #Ps. 130:4 forgiving,
# ver. 15; Ps. 103:8; 145:8, 9; Ex. 34:6; Joel 2:13 abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 #
Ps. 55:1, 2 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
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 worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10For #Ps. 77:13 you are great and #See Ps. 72:18 do wondrous things;
#
Deut. 6:4; Isa. 37:16; 44:6, 8; 1 Cor. 8:4, 6 you alone are God.
11 # See Ps. 25:4 Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may #Ps. 26:3 walk in your truth;
# [Jer. 32:39] unite my heart to fear your name.
12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 # [ver. 5] For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have #Ps. 30:3; [Ps. 88:6; Ezek. 26:20]delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14O God, insolent men have #Ps. 54:3risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
15But you, O Lord, are a God #ver. 5; Ps. 111:4; 112:4; Num. 14:18; Neh. 9:17; Jonah 4:2; See Ps. 62:12merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 # See Ps. 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to #See Ps. 116:16your servant,
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.

86
A prayer of David.
1I am a poor, helpless man.
Lord, please listen to me and answer my prayer!
2I am your follower, so please protect me.
I am your servant, and you are my God.
I trust in you, so save me.
3My Lord, be kind to me.
I have been praying to you all day.
4My Lord, I put my life in your hands.
I am your servant, so make me happy.
5My Lord, you are good and merciful.
You love all those who call to you for help.
6Lord, hear my prayer.
Listen to my cry for mercy.
7I am praying to you in my time of trouble.
I know you will answer me.
8My Lord, there is no God like you.
No one can do what you have done.
9My Lord, you made everyone.
I wish they all would come worship you and honor your name.
10You are great and do amazing things.
You and you alone are God.
11Lord, teach me your ways,
and I will live and obey your truths.
Help me make worshiping your name
the most important thing in my life.
12My Lord God, I praise you with all my heart.
I will honor your name forever!
13You have such great love for me.
You save me from the place of death.
14Proud people are attacking me, God.
A gang of cruel men is trying to kill me.
They don’t respect you.
15My Lord, you are a kind and merciful God.
You are patient, loyal, and full of love.
16Show that you hear me and be kind to me.
I am your servant, so give me strength.
I am your slave, as my mother was, so save me!
17Lord, show me a sign that you care for me.
My enemies will see it and be disappointed,
because you helped and comforted me.
