Psalms 86:8-16

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.

¹⁰For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.

¹¹Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.

¹²Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.

¹³For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death.

¹⁴God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.

¹⁵But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.

¹⁶Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
