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