# Psalms 86

[1](#verse-1) Hear, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

[2](#verse-2) Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

[3](#verse-3) Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

[4](#verse-4) Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

[5](#verse-5) For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

[6](#verse-6) Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.

[7](#verse-7) In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

[8](#verse-8) There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.

[9](#verse-9) All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

[10](#verse-10) For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

[11](#verse-11) Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

[12](#verse-12) I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.

[13](#verse-13) For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

[14](#verse-14) God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

[15](#verse-15) But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

[16](#verse-16) Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.

[17](#verse-17) Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
