Psalm 86

Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly; save Your servant, who trusts in You — You are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.
In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for You answer me.
There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours.
All the nations You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name.
For yYu are great and do wondrous things; You alone are God.
Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
I give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify Your name forever.
For great is Your steadfast love toward me; You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Turn to me and be gracious to me; give Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your maidservant.
Show me a sign of Your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Amen.
