Psalms [Praises] 86:5-17

⁵For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness· to all those who call on you.

⁶Hear, Adonai , my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.

⁷In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

⁸There is no one like you among the deities, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.

⁹All nations you have made will come and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

¹⁰For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

¹¹Teach me your way, Adonai . I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

¹²I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.

¹³For your cheshed ·loving-kindness· is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol ·Place of the dead·.

¹⁴God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

¹⁵But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness· and truth.

¹⁶Turn to me, and have favor on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.

¹⁷Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Adonai , have helped me, and comforted me.
