Psalm 86 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Pleading and Trust.

Psa 86:1

A Prayer of David.

Incline Your ear, LORD, and answer me;

For I am afflicted and needy.

Psa 86:2

Protect my [fn]soul, for I am godly;

You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.

Psa 86:3

Be gracious to me, Lord,

For I call upon You all day long.

Psa 86:4

Make the soul of Your servant joyful,

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

Psa 86:5

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.

Psa 86:6

Listen, LORD, to my prayer;

And give Your attention to the sound of my pleading!

Psa 86:7

On the day of my trouble I will call upon You,

For You will answer me.

Psa 86:8

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

Nor are there any works like Yours.

Psa 86:9

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

And they will glorify Your name.

Psa 86:10

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

You alone are God.

Psa 86:11

Teach me Your way, LORD;

I will walk in Your truth;

Unite my heart to fear Your name.

Psa 86:12

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

And I will glorify Your name forever.

Psa 86:13

For Your graciousness toward me is great,

And You have saved my soul from the [fn]depths of [fn]Sheol.

Psa 86:14

God, arrogant men have risen up against me,

And a gang of violent men have sought my [fn]life,

And they have not set You before them.

Psa 86:15

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

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

Psa 86:16

Turn to me, and be gracious to me;

Grant Your strength to Your servant,

And save the son of Your maidservant.

Psa 86:17

Show me a sign of good,

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

Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
