prayer 06

Psalm 86

A prayer of David.

 ¹ Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

 ² Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.  You are my God; save your servant
       who trusts in you. 

 ³ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long.

 ⁴ Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

 ⁵ You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.

 ⁶ Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.

 ⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.

 ⁸ Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.

 ⁹ All the nations you have made,will come and worship before you, O Lord;
       they will bring glory to your name.

 ¹⁰ For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

 ¹¹ Teach me your way, O LORD,  and I will walk in your truth;  give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

 ¹² I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;  I will glorify your name forever.

 ¹³ For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. 

 ¹⁴ The arrogant are attacking me, O God;  a band of ruthless men seeks my life—  men without regard for you.

 ¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,  slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

 ¹⁶ Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant
       and save the son of your maidservant. 

 ¹⁷ Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,  for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Thank you Lord...In Jesus name do I pray
