86:1  David's prayer. Lord, please listen to me, and answer me! I am weak and I need help.
86:2  I am your faithful servant, so keep my life safe! Please save me, my God, for I trust in you.
86:3  My Lord, be kind to me. All through the day, I am calling to you for help.
86:4  Please make me happy deep inside, for you are the one that I pray to, my Lord.
86:5  Yes, my Lord, you are very kind, and you are ready to forgive people. When anyone calls to you for help, you love them with your faithful love.
86:6  Lord, hear my prayer! Please listen when I call to you for help.
86:7  Whenever trouble comes to me, I will pray to you. I know that you will answer me.
86:8  There is no one like you, my Lord, among all the gods. Nobody can do the great things that you do.
86:9  You have made all the nations of the world, and they will all come to worship you, my Lord. They will agree that your name is great.
86:10  For you are great and you do great things. You alone are God.
86:11  Lord, teach me how I should live. Then I will obey your truth. Teach me to serve you with all that I am, so that I respect you with fear.
86:12  My Lord and my God, I will thank you with all my strength. I will praise your name for ever!
86:13  I know that you love me very much with your faithful love. You will continue to keep my life safe, so that I do not go down into the deep hole of death.
86:14  God, proud people are attacking me. Cruel men have joined together to kill me. They do not respect you at all.
86:15  But you, my Lord, are a kind God who forgives people. You do not quickly become angry, and your faithful love is very great. We can always trust you to do what you have promised.
86:16  Turn to me and be kind to me. I am your servant, so make me strong. Please rescue your slave!
86:17  Help me, so that I know you are pleased with me. Then my enemies will see it, and they will be ashamed. They will know that you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
