﻿Psalm.
Chapter 86.
Incline your ear, LORD, and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy. 
Preserve my life, for I am faithful to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. 
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I cry to you all day long. 
Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, I lift up my soul. 
For you, Lord, are good and forgiving, abundant in steadfast love to all who call on you. 
Listen to my prayer, LORD, and attend to the voice of my pleas. 
In the day of my distress I will call on you, for you will answer me. 
There is none like you among the gods, Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 
All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord, and glorify your name. 
For you are great and do wonderful things; you alone are God. 
Teach me your way, LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to fear your name. 
I will give you thanks, Lord my God, with all my heart, and glorify your name forever. 
For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have rescued my soul from the depths of Sheol. 
God, the arrogant have risen against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. 
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abundant 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 servant woman. 
Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see and be ashamed, because you, LORD, have helped and comforted me.
