Psalms 86
A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.
A Prayer of David.
1 aIncline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me;For I am bafflicted and needy.
2 cPreserve my ▼
▼ Or life
soul, for I am a egodly man;O You my God, save Your servant who ftrusts in You.
3Be ggracious to me, O Lord,
For hto You I cry all day long.
4Make glad the soul of Your servant,
For to You, O Lord, iI lift up my soul.
5For You, Lord, are jgood, and kready to forgive,
And labundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
6 mGive ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
7In nthe day of my trouble I shall call upon You,
For oYou will answer me.
8There is pno one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works qlike Yours.
9 rAll nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
10For You are sgreat and tdo ▼
▼ Or miracles
wondrous deeds;You alone vare God.
11 wTeach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
xUnite my heart to fear Your name.
12I will ygive thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
13For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have zdelivered my soul from the ▼
▼ Lit lowest Sheol
depths of ▼▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol.14O God, arrogant men have acrisen up against me,
And ▼
▼ Or an assembly
a band of violent men have sought my ▼▼ Lit soul
life,And they have not set You before them.
15But You, O Lord, are a God afmerciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and ▼
▼ Or faithfulness
truth.16 ahTurn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh aigrant Your strength to Your servant,
And save the ajson of Your handmaid.
17 akShow me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may alsee it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, amhave helped me and comforted me.
