# Chapter 86
|
|
1 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
|
|
for I am poor and needy.
|
|
2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;
|
|
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
|
|
3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,
|
|
for to you do I cry all the day.
|
|
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
|
|
for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
|
|
5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
|
|
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
|
|
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
|
|
listen to my plea for grace.
|
|
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
|
|
for you answer me.
|
|
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
|
|
nor are there any works like yours.
|
|
9 All the nations you have made shall come
|
|
and worship before you, O Lord,
|
|
and shall glorify your name.
|
|
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
|
|
you alone are God.
|
|
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
|
|
that I may walk in your truth;
|
|
unite my heart to fear your name.
|
|
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
|
|
and I will glorify your name forever.
|
|
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
|
|
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
|
|
14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me;
|
|
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
|
|
and they do not set you before them.
|
|
15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
|
|
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
|
|
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
|
|
give your strength to your servant,
|
|
and save the son of your maidservant.
|
|
17 Show me a sign of your favor,
|
|
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
|
|
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. |
