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 devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;
86:3  be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long.
86:4  Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
86:5  For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you.
86:6  Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my cry of supplication.
86:7  In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will answer me.
86:8  There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.
86:9  All the nations you have made shall come and bow down before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.
86:10  For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.
86:11  Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name.
86:12  I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name for ever.
86:13  For great is your steadfast love towards me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
86:14  O God, the insolent rise up against me; a band of ruffians seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.
86:15  But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
86:16  Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant; save the child of your serving-maid.
86:17  Show me a sign of your favour, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
