# Chapter 86
|
||
1 Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
|
||
answer me, for I need your help.
|
||
2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
|
||
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
|
||
You are my God.
|
||
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
|
||
for I am calling on you constantly.
|
||
4 Give me happiness, O Lord,
|
||
for I give myself to you.
|
||
5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
|
||
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
|
||
6 Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
|
||
hear my urgent cry.
|
||
7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
|
||
and you will answer me.
|
||
8 No pagan god is like you, O Lord.
|
||
None can do what you do!
|
||
9 All the nations you made
|
||
will come and bow before you, Lord;
|
||
they will praise your holy name.
|
||
10 For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.
|
||
You alone are God.
|
||
11 Teach me your ways, O Lord,
|
||
that I may live according to your truth!
|
||
Grant me purity of heart,
|
||
so that I may honor you.
|
||
12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
|
||
I will give glory to your name forever,
|
||
13 for your love for me is very great.
|
||
You have rescued me from the depths of death.
|
||
14 O God, insolent people rise up against me;
|
||
a violent gang is trying to kill me.
|
||
You mean nothing to them.
|
||
15 But you, O Lord,
|
||
are a God of compassion and mercy,
|
||
slow to get angry
|
||
and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
|
||
16 Look down and have mercy on me.
|
||
Give your strength to your servant;
|
||
save me, the son of your servant.
|
||
17 Send me a sign of your favor.
|
||
Then those who hate me will be put to shame,
|
||
for you, O Lord, help and comfort me. |
