Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 86

Hear me, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am in need of Your kindness.

Guard my life, for I am devoted to You;
You are my God—save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for I call to You all day long.

Fill my soul with joy, O Lord,
for to You I lift up my heart.

For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
overflowing with love to all who call upon You.

Listen to my prayer, O Lord,
hear my cry for mercy.

In the day of trouble, I call to You,
for You will answer me.

Among all the wonders of the world, 
there is none like You, O Lord,
no works can compare to Yours.

All the people You have made
will come and honor You, O Lord,
and they will glorify Your name.

For You are great and do marvelous things;
You alone are God.

Teach me Your way, O Lord,
so that I may walk in Your truth.

Give me a heart undivided,
that I may honor Your name.

I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify Your name forever.

For great is Your love toward me;
You have rescued me from the depths of despair.

Though troubles rise against me, O God,
though the proud stand against me,
they have no thought of You.

But You, O Lord, are compassionate and gracious,
slow in disappointment
abounding in love and faithfulness.

Turn to me and be merciful;
give me Your strength, O Lord.

Show me a sign of Your goodness,
that those who stand against me may see
and know that You, O Lord,
have been my help and my comfort.
