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

Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.
86:8
There is no one like you amongst the gods, Lord,
O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.

All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

For you are great, and do wondrous things.
For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.

Teach me your way, LORD.
Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.

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

For your loving kindness is great towards me.
For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

God, the proud have risen up against me.

86:15
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
86:16
Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.
86:17
Show me a sign of your goodness,
Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
