RSV Psalms 86 Chapter
86:1
A Prayer of David. Incline thy ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
86:2
Preserve my life, for I am godly;save thy servant who trusts in thee. Thou art my God;
86:3
be gracious to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day.
86:4
Gladden the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
86:5
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.
86:6
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;hearken to my cry of supplication.
86:7
In the day of my trouble I call on thee, for thou dost answer me.
86:8
There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like thine.
86:9
All the nations thou hast made shall come and bow down before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
86:10
For thou art great and doest wondrous things, thou alone art God.
86:11
Teach me thy way, O LORD, that I may walk in thy truth;unite my heart to fear thy name.
86:12
I give thanks to thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever.
86:13
For great is thy steadfast love toward me;thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
86:14
O God, insolent men have risen up against me;a band of ruthless men seek my life, and they do not set thee before them.
86:15
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
86:16
Turn to me and take pity on me;give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
86:17
Show me a sign of thy favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because thou, LORD, hast helped me and comforted me.
