Psalm 86

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<A Prayer by David.>> Hear, LORD, and answer me, For I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

3 Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long.

4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you.

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

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

8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.

9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

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

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

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.

13 For your lovingkindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest She'ol.

14 God, 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.

15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

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

17 Show me a sign of your goodness, That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Bend an ear, God; answer me. I'm one miserable wretch!

2 Keep me safe - haven't I lived a good life? Help your servant - I'm depending on you!

3 You're my God; have mercy on me. I count on you from morning to night.

4 Give your servant a happy life; I put myself in your hands!

5 You're well-known as good and forgiving, bighearted to all who ask for help.

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.
