Psalm 86

For help & deliverance

from our enemies

A prayer of David.

Lord, hear me and answer me.
I am poor and needy.

Keep my life safe, because I am faithful to you.
Save me, because I trust in you.
You are my God.

Lord, have mercy on me.
I call out to you all day long.

Bring joy to me.
Lord, I put my trust in you.

Lord, you are forgiving and good.
You are full of love for all who call out to you.

Lord, hear my prayer.
Listen to my cry for mercy.

When I’m in trouble, I will call out to you.
And you will answer me.

Lord, there’s no one like you among the gods.
No one can do what you do.

Lord, all the nations you have made
will come and worship you.
They will bring glory to you.

10 You are great. You do wonderful things.
You alone are God.

11 Lord, teach me how you want me to live.
Do this so that I will depend on you, my faithful God.
Give me a heart that doesn’t want anything
more than to worship you.

12 Lord my God, I will praise you with all my heart.
I will bring glory to you forever.

13 Great is your love for me.
You have kept me from going down into the place of the dead.

14 God, proud people are attacking me.
A gang of mean people is trying to kill me.
They don’t care about you.

15 But Lord, you are a God who is tender and kind.
You are gracious.
You are slow to get angry.
You are faithful and full of love.

16 Come to my aid and have mercy on me.
Show your strength by helping me.
Save me because I serve you just as my mother did.

17 Prove your goodness to me.
Then my enemies will see it and be put to shame.
Lord, you have helped me and given me comfort.
