Psalm 86

Common English Bible CEB

1 LORD, listen closely to me and answer me, because I am poor and in need.

2 Guard my life because I am faithful. Save your servant who trusts in you—you! My God!

3 Have mercy on me, Lord, because I cry out to you all day long.

4 Make your servant's life happy again because, my Lord, I offer my life to you,

5 because, my Lord, you are good and forgiving, full of faithful love for all those who cry out to you.

6 Listen closely to my prayer, LORD; pay close attention to the sound of my requests for mercy.

7 Whenever I am in trouble, I cry out to you, because you will answer me.

8 My Lord! There is no one like youamong the gods! There is nothing that can compare to your works!

9 All the nations that you've made will come and bow down before you, Lord; they will glorify your name,

10 because you are awesome and a wonder-worker. You are God. Just you.

11 Teach me your way, LORD, so that I can walk in your truth. Make my heart focused only on honoring your name.

12 I give thanks to you, my Lord, my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forever,

13 because your faithful love toward me is awesome and because you've rescued my life from the lowest part of hell.

14 The arrogant rise up against me, God. A gang of violent people want me dead. They don't give a thought for you.

15 But you, my Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy; you are very patient and full of faithful love.

16 Come back to me! Have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength; save this child of your servant!

17 Show me a sign of your goodness so that those who hate me will see it and be put to shame— show a sign that you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

6 Pay attention, God, to my prayer; bend down and listen to my cry for help.

7 Every time I'm in trouble I call on you, confident that you'll answer.

8 There's no one quite like you among the gods, O Lord, and nothing to compare with your works.

9 All the nations you made are on their way, ready to give honor to you, O Lord, Ready to put your beauty on display,

10 parading your greatness, And the great things you do - God, you're the one, there's no one but you!

11 Train me, God, to walk straight; then I'll follow your true path. Put me together, one heart and mind; then, undivided, I'll worship in joyful fear.

12 From the bottom of my heart I thank you, dear Lord; I've never kept secret what you're up to.

13 You've always been great toward me - what love! You snatched me from the brink of disaster!

14 God, these bullies have reared their heads! A gang of thugs is after me - and they don't care a thing about you.

15 But you, O God, are both tender and kind, not easily angered, immense in love, and you never, never quit.

16 So look me in the eye and show kindness, give your servant the strength to go on, save your dear, dear child!

17 Make a show of how much you love me so the bullies who hate me will stand there slack-jawed, As you, God, gently and powerfully put me back on my feet.
