Psalm 86 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Pleading and Trust.

A Prayer of David.

86 ^(A)Incline Your ear, Lord, and answer me;
For I am ^(B)afflicted and needy.
²^(C)Protect my ^[a]soul, for I am ^(D)godly;
You my God, save Your servant who ^(E)trusts in You.
³Be ^(F)gracious to me, Lord,
For ^(G)I call upon You all day long.
⁴Make the soul of Your servant joyful,
For to You, Lord, ^(H)I lift up my soul.
⁵For You, Lord, are ^(I)good, and ^(J)ready to forgive,
And ^(K)abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.
⁶^(L)Listen, Lord, to my prayer;
And give Your attention to the sound of my pleading!
⁷On ^(M)the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For ^(N)You will answer me.
⁸There is ^(O)no one like You among the gods, Lord,
Nor are there any works ^(P)like Yours.
⁹^(Q)All nations whom You have made will come and worship before You, Lord,
And they will glorify Your name.
¹⁰For You are ^(R)great, and you ^(S)do ^[b]wondrous deeds;
You alone ^(T)are God.

¹¹^(U)Teach me Your way, Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
^(V)Unite my heart to fear Your name.
¹²I will ^(W)give thanks to You, Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forever.
¹³For Your graciousness toward me is great,
And You have ^(X)saved my soul from the ^[c]depths of ^[d]Sheol.

¹⁴God, arrogant men have ^(Y)risen up against me,
And a gang of violent men have sought my ^[e]life,
And they have not set You before them.
¹⁵But You, Lord, are a ^(Z)compassionate and gracious God,
Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and ^[f]truth.
¹⁶^(AA)Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
^(AB)Grant Your strength to Your servant,
And save the ^(AC)son of Your maidservant.
¹⁷^(AD)Show me a sign of good,
That those who hate me may ^(AE)see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, ^(AF)have helped me and comforted me.
