before You, O Lord; and they shall glorify Your name."
(Psalm 86:9)
PSALM 86
A Prayer of David
Incline Your ear, O Lord and answer me, for I am
poor, distressed, needy, and desiring.
Preserve my life, for I am godly and dedicated;
O my God, save Your servant, for I trust in You,
committing all and confidently looking to You
without fear or doubt.
Be gracious and merciful to me, O Lord,
for to You I do cry all the day.
Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord,
for to You do I lift myself up.
For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive
our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go
completely and forever; and You are abundant in mercy
and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the
cry of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call on You,
for You will answer me.
There is none like unto You among the gods, O Lord,
neither are their works like unto Yours.
All nations whom You have made shall come and fall
down before You, O Lord; and they shall glorify Your name.
For You are great and work wonders! You alone are God.
Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in
Your truth; direct and unite my heart, solely, reverently,
to fear and honor Your name.
I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my
whole united heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.
For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness toward me;
and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol,
from the exceeding depths of affliction.
O God, the proud and insolent are risen against me;
a rabble of violent and ruthless men have sought and
demanded my life, and they have not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to
anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness and truth.
O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant
strength, might and inflexibility to temptation to Your servant
and save the son of Your handmaiden.
Show me a sign of Your evident goodwill and favor, that those
who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because You, Lord,
will show Your approval of me when You help and comfort me.
