Psalm 86 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul

Psa 86:1

A Prayer of David.

Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me;

For I am afflicted and needy.

Psa 86:2

Keep my [fn]soul, for I am a holy one;

O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You.

Psa 86:3

Be gracious to me, O Lord,

For to You I call all day long.

Psa 86:4

Make glad the soul of Your slave,

For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Psa 86:5

For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving,

And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.

Psa 86:6

Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer;

And give heed to the voice of my supplications!

Psa 86:7

In the day of my distress I shall call upon You,

For You will answer me.

Psa 86:8

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,

Nor are there any works like Yours.

Psa 86:9

All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,

And they shall glorify Your name.

Psa 86:10

For You are great and do [fn]wondrous deeds;

You alone are God.

Psa 86:11

Teach me Your way, O Yahweh;

I will walk in Your truth;

Unite my heart to fear Your name.

Psa 86:12

I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,

And will glorify Your name forever.

Psa 86:13

For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,

And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below.

Psa 86:14

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,

And [fn]a band of ruthless men have sought my [fn]life,

And they have not set You before them.

Psa 86:15

But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious,

Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and [fn]truth.

Psa 86:16

Turn to me, and be gracious to me;

Oh grant Your strength to Your slave,

And save the son of Your maidservant.

Psa 86:17

[fn]Show me a sign for good,

That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,

Because You, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
