Psalm 86:5–15

5  For you, O Lord, are good and pforgiving,

qabounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

6  rGive ear, O Lord, to my prayer;

listen to my plea for grace.

7  In sthe day of my trouble I call upon you,

tfor you answer me.

8  There is unone like you among the gods, O Lord,

vnor are there any works like yours.

9  wAll the nations you have made shall come

and worship before you, O Lord,

and shall glorify your name.

10  For xyou are great and ydo wondrous things;

zyou alone are God.

11  aTeach me your way, O Lord,

that I may bwalk in your truth;

cunite 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  dFor great is your steadfast love toward me;

you have edelivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14  O God, insolent men have frisen 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 gmerciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
