1.5 KiB
Psalm 86Lament and Petition
-
Listen, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
-
Protect my life, for I am faithful. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.
-
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
-
Bring joy to your servant's life, because I appeal to you, Lord.
-
For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.
-
Lord, hear my prayer; listen to my cries for mercy.
-
I call on you in the day of my distress, for you will answer me.
-
Lord, there is no one like you among the gods, and there are no works like yours.
-
All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord, and will honor your name.
-
For you are great and perform wonders; you alone are God.
-
Teach me your way, Lord, and I will live by your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.
-
I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God, and will honor your name forever.
-
For your faithful love for me is great, and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol.
-
God, arrogant people have attacked me; a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me. They do not let you guide them.
-
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.
-
Turn to me and be gracious to me.
Give your strength to your servant; save the son of your female servant.
- Show me a sign of your goodness; my enemies will see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped and comforted me.
