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.

Psalm 86
86
A Prayer of David.
1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
For I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
For I cry unto thee daily.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
For thou wilt answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
And shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
Thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy mercy toward me:
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14O God, the proud are risen against me,
And the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; And have not set thee before them.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Shew me a token for good; That they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
Because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
