Psalm 86 A prayer of David. 86 Lord, listen closely to me and answer me, because I am poor and in need. 2 Guard my life because I am faithful. Save your servant who trusts in you—you! My God! 3 Have mercy on me, Lord, because I cry out to you all day long. 4 Make your servant’s life[a] happy again because, my Lord, I offer my life to you, 5 because, my Lord, you are good and forgiving, full of faithful love for all those who cry out to you. 6 Listen closely to my prayer, Lord; pay close attention to the sound of my requests for mercy. 7 Whenever I am in trouble, I cry out to you, because you will answer me. 8 My Lord! There is no one like youamong the gods! There is nothing that can compare to your works! 9 All the nations that you’ve made will come and bow down before you, Lord; they will glorify your name, 10 because you are awesome and a wonder-worker. You are God. Just you. 11 Teach me your way, Lord, so that I can walk in your truth. Make my heart focused only on honoring your name. 12 I give thanks to you, my Lord, my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forever, 13 because your faithful love toward me is awesome and because you’ve rescued my life from the lowest part of hell.[b] 14 The arrogant rise up against me, God. A gang of violent people want me dead. They don’t give a thought for you. 15 But you, my Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy; you are very patient and full of faithful love. 16 Come back to me! Have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength; save this child of your servant! 17 Show me a sign of your goodness so that those who hate me will see it and be put to shame— show a sign that you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
