Psalm 86
A prayer by David.
1Turn your ear ⌞toward me⌟, O Lord.
Answer me, because I am oppressed and needy.
2Protect me, because I am faithful ⌞to you⌟.
Save your servant who trusts you. You are my God.
3Have pity on me, O Lord,
because I call out to you all day long.
4Give me joy, O Lord,
because I lift my soul to you.
5You, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
full of mercy toward everyone who calls out to you.
6Open your ears to my prayer, O Lord.
Pay attention when I plead for mercy.
7When I am in trouble, I call out to you
because you answer me.
8No god is like you, O Lord.
No one can do what you do.
9All the nations that you have made
will bow in your presence, O Lord.
They will honor you.
10Indeed, you are great, a worker of miracles.
You alone are God.
11Teach me your way, O Lord,
so that I may live in your truth.
Focus my heart on fearing you.
12I will give thanks to you with all my heart, O Lord my God.
I will honor you forever
13because your mercy toward me is great.
You have rescued me from the depths of hell.
14O God, arrogant people attack me,
and a mob of ruthless people seeks my life.
They think nothing of you.
15But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God.
You are patient, always faithful and ready to forgive.
16Turn toward me, and have pity on me.
Give me your strength because I am your servant.
Save me because I am the son of your female servant.
17Grant me some proof of your goodness
so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame.
You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalms 86
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.
