A prayer of David.
86 Incline your ear,* O Jehovah, and answer me,
For I am afflicted and poor.
2 Guard my life,* for I am loyal.
Save your servant who is trusting in you,
For you are my God.
3 Show me favor, O Jehovah,
For I call to you all day long.
5 For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive;
You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.
6 Listen, O Jehovah, to my prayer;
And pay attention to my pleas for help.
7 I call on you in the day of my distress,
For you will answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Jehovah,
There are no works like yours.
9 All the nations that you made
Will come and bow down before you, O Jehovah,
And they will give glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
You are God, you alone.
11 Instruct me, O Jehovah, about your way.
I will walk in your truth.
Unify my heart* to fear your name.
12 I praise you, O Jehovah my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify your name forever,
13 For your loyal love toward me is great,
14 O God, presumptuous men rise up against me;
A band of ruthless men seek to take my life,*
And they have no regard for you.*
15 But you, O Jehovah, are a God merciful and compassionate,*
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and faithfulness.*
16 Turn to me and show me favor.
Give your strength to your servant,
And save the son of your slave girl.
17 Show me a sign* of your goodness,
So that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame.
For you, O Jehovah, are my helper and comforter.
