Psalm 86

LAMENT AND PETITION

A prayer of David.

1 Listen, Lord, and answer me,

for I am poor and needy.ae

2 Protect my life, for I am faithful.af

You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.ag

3 Be gracious to me, Lord,

for I call to you all day long.ah

4 Bring joy to your servant’s life,

because I appeal to you, Lord.a

5 For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,b

abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.c

6 Lord, hear my prayer;

listen to my cries for mercy.d

7 I call on you in the day of my distress,

for you will answer me.e

8 Lord, there is no one like you among the gods,

and there are no works like yours.f

9 All the nations you have made

will come and bow down before you, Lord,

and will honor your name.g

10 For you are great and perform wonders;

you alone are God.h

11 Teach me your way, Lord,

and I will live by your truth.

Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.i

12 I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God,

and will honor your name forever.j

13 For your faithful love for me is great,

and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol.k

14 God, arrogant people have attacked me;

a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me.

They do not let you guide them.A,l

15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.m

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me.

Give your strength to your servant;

save the son of your female servant.n

17 Show me a sign of your goodness;

my enemies will see and be put to shame

because you, Lord, have helped and comforted me.o

	About Christian Standard Bible The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible.
