Psalm 86

⁵ For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,^(F)
abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.^(G)
6 Lord, hear my prayer;
listen to my cries for mercy.^(H)
7 I call on you in the day of my distress,
for you will answer me.^(I)

⁸ Lord, there is no one like you among the gods,
and there are no works like yours.^(J)
9 All the nations you have made
will come and bow down before you, Lord,
and will honor your name.^(K)
10 For you are great and perform wonders;
you alone are God.^(L)

¹¹ Teach me your way, Lord,
and I will live by your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.^(M)
12 I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God,
and will honor your name forever.^(N)
13 For your faithful love for me is great,
and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol.^(O)

¹⁴ God, arrogant people have attacked me;
a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me.
They do not let you guide them.^[a](P)
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.^(Q)
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me.
Give your strength to your servant;
save the son of your female servant.^(R)
17 Show me a sign of your goodness;
my enemies will see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped and comforted me.^(S)
