Psam 86

86:1 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;listen to my plea for grace.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you,for you answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall comeand worship before you, O Lord,and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,that I may walk in your truth;unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me;a band of ruthless men seeks my life,and they do not set you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;give your strength to your servant,and save the son of your maidservant.
17 Show me a sign of your favor,that those who hate me may see and be put to shamebecause you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
