Psalm 86:1-11

Psalm 86 1A prayer of David. Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

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

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

4Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.

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

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

7When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.

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

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

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

11Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
