86
A prayer of David.
1 Listen, Yahweh, and answer me,
for I am poor and oppressed.
2 Protect me, for I am loyal;
my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord,
for I cry out to you all day long.
4 Make your servant glad,
for to you, Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
and you show great mercy to all those who cry out to you.
6 Yahweh, listen to my prayer;
hear the sound of my pleas.
7 In the day of my trouble I call on you,
for you will answer me.
8 There is no one who compares to you among the gods, Lord.
There are no deeds like your deeds.
9 All the nations that you have made will come and bow before you, Lord.
They will honor your name.
10 For you are great and do wonderful things;
you only are God.
11 Teach me your ways, Yahweh. Then I will walk in your truth.
Unite my heart to reverence you.
12 Lord my God, I will praise you with my whole heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your covenant faithfulness toward me;
you have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol.
14 God, the arrogant have risen up against me.
A gang of violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for you.
15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger, and abundant in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me;
give your strength to your servant;
save the son of your servant woman.
17 Show me a sign of your favor.
Then those who hate me will see it and be put to shame
because you, Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
