Psalms - Chapter 86 - New International Version
- Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
- Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;
- have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
- Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
- You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
- Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
- When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.
- Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
- All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
- For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.
- Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
- I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
- For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
- Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me — they have no regard for you.
- But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
- Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
- Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
