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.
