86:1 Incline Your ear, O LORD, {and} answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. |
86:2 Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You. |
86:3 Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I cry all day long. |
86:4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. |
86:5 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. |
86:6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And give heed to the voice of my supplications! |
86:7 In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me. |
86:8 There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. |
86:9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. |
86:10 For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. |
86:11 Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. |
86:12 I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. |
86:13 For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. |
86:14 O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. |
86:15 But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. |
86:16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your handmaid. |
86:17 Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see {it} and be ashamed, Because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. |
