Psalms 86:1-6

1 Listen to me, Lord, and answer me, for I am helpless and weak.
2 Save me from death, because I am loyal to you; save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you.
3 You are my God, so be merciful to me; I pray to you all day long.
4 Make your servant glad, O Lord, because my prayers go up to you.
5 You are good to us and forgiving, full of constant love for all who pray to you.
6 Listen, Lord, to my prayer; hear my cries for help.
