Psalm 86

Psa 86:1	A prayer of David. Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.
Psa 86:2	Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.
Psa 86:3	Be merciful, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.
Psa 86:4	Give me happiness, O Lord, for my life depends on you.
Psa 86:5	O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask your aid.
Psa 86:6	Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry.
Psa 86:7	I will call to you whenever trouble strikes, and you will answer me.
Psa 86:8	Nowhere among the pagan gods is there a god like you, O Lord. There are no other miracles like yours.
Psa 86:9	All the nations-and you made each one- will come and bow before you, Lord; they will praise your great and holy name.
Psa 86:10	For you are great and perform great miracles. You alone are God.
Psa 86:11	Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor you.
Psa 86:12	With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever,
Psa 86:13	for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death!
Psa 86:14	O God, insolent people rise up against me; violent people are trying to kill me. And you mean nothing to them.
Psa 86:15	But you, O Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to get angry, full of unfailing love and truth.
Psa 86:16	Look down and have mercy on me. Give strength to your servant; yes, save me, for I am your servant.
Psa 86:17	Send me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O Lord, help and comfort me. AMEN
