Psalm 86

New Living Translation NLT

1 Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.

2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.

3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.

4 Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you.

5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

6 Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD ; hear my urgent cry.

7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.

8 No pagan god is like you, O Lord. None can do what you do!

9 All the nations you made will come and bow before you, Lord; they will praise your holy name.

10 For you are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God.

11 Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.

12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever,

13 for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.

14 O God, insolent people rise up against me; a violent gang is trying to kill me. You mean nothing to them.

15 But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.

16 Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant; save me, the son of your servant.

17 Send me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O LORD, help and comfort 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.
