86:1  A prayer of David. Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
86:2  Preserve my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who puts his trust in you.
86:3  You are my God; have pity on me, O Lord, for to you I cry out all day long.
86:4  Give joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
86:5  O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, filled with kindness for all who cry to you.
86:6  Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my voice in supplication.
86:7  In the time of trouble I call to you, for you will answer me.
86:8  There is no one among the gods like you, O Lord, nor can any deeds compare with yours.
86:9  All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, O Lord, and glorify your name.
86:10  For you are great and you do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.
86:11  Teach me your ways, O Lord, so that I may walk in your truth; let me worship your name with an undivided heart.
86:12  I will praise you with all my heart, O Lord, my God, and I will glorify your name forever.
86:13  Your kindness toward me is great; you have rescued me from the depths of the netherworld.
86:14  Arrogant men are rising up against me, O God; a violent mob seeks my life; they do not keep you before their eyes.
86:15  But you, O Lord, are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and faithfulness.
86:16  Turn to me and grant me your gracious favor; endow your servant with strength and rescue the child of your handmaid.
86:17  Grant me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, O Lord, have helped and comforted me.
