Psalms 86

1 Hear, Adonai, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Show pity on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness· to all those who call on you.
6 Hear, Adonai, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8 There is no one like you among the deities, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 All nations you have made will come and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. 1
Notes
+ . Quoted in Rev 15:4
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11 Teach me your way, Adonai. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
13 For your chesed ·loving-kindness· is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol ·Place of the dead·.
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 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness· and truth.
16 Turn to me, and have favor on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
17 Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Adonai, have helped me, and comforted me.
