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.

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.
