Psalms 86:1-9

¹A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!

²Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.

³Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.

⁴Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.

⁵For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.

⁶Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.

⁷When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.

⁸There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.

⁹You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
