Psalms 86:1-12 ▼

1 A Prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O YHWH; answer me, for I am afflicted and in need.

2 May You guard my life, for am I faithful; may You save Your servant—the one trusting in You—You my God.

3 Show favor to me, O Lord, for to You I call out all the day.

4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, and abundant in in loving devotion to all those calling on You.

6 Give ear, O YHWH, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my pleas.

7 In the day of my distress I call on you, for You will answer me!

8 None like You is among the gods, O Lord, and not like Your works.

9 All the nations whom You have made shall come and bow down before Your face, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

10 For You are great, and the One doing wonders; You are God—You alone.

11 Instruct me, O YHWH, in Your way, and I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.

12 I will confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forever.
