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.
1Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
5For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
6Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
8There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
9All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
10For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
11Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
12I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
13For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
15And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
17Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
