Psalm 86:1–13

1 Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy. 2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee. 3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day. 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

8  Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works. 9  All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name. 10  For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone. 11  Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 12  I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13  For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
