1.6 KiB
Psalm 86
- Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
- Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
- Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
- Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
- O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
- Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD;
hear my urgent cry.
- I will call to you whenever I'm in trouble,
and you will answer me.
- No pagan god is like you, O Lord.
None can do what you do!
- All the nations you made
will come and bow before you, Lord;
they will praise your holy name.
- For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.
You alone are God.
- 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.
- With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
I will give glory to your name forever,
-
for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.
-
O God, insolent people rise up against me;
a violent gang is trying to kill me.
You mean nothing to them.
- But you, O Lord,
are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry
and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
- Look down and have mercy on me.
Give your strength to your servant;
save me, the son of your servant.
- 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.
