A Prayer of Faith
King David’s prayer
1Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.
I am in deep trouble. I’m broken and humbled,
and I desperately need your help.
2Guard my life, for I’m your faithful friend, your loyal servant for life.
I turn to you in faith, my God, my hero; come and rescue me!
3Lord God, hear my constant cry for help;
show me your favor and bring me to your fountain of grace!
4Restore joy to your loving servant once again,
for all I am is yours, O God.
5Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way # 86:5 The Septuagint reads “You’re my provider.”
and ready to forgive,
for your grace-fountain keeps overflowing,
drenching all your devoted lovers who pray to you.
6God, won’t you pay attention to this urgent cry?
Lord, bend down to listen to my prayer.
7Whenever trouble strikes, I will keep crying out to you,
for I know your help is on the way.
8God, there’s no one like you;
there’s no other god as famous as you.
You outshine all others, and your miracles make it easy to know you.
9Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations.
Look at them—they’re all on their way!
Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you
and put your glory on display.
10You are the one and only God.
What miracles! What wonders! What greatness belongs to you!
11Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move,
so that I can walk onward in your truth
until everything within me brings honor to your name.
12With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God!
I will give glory to your name, always and forever!
13You love me so much, and you have placed your greatness upon me. # 86:13 As translated from the Aramaic.
You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness,
and you have delivered me from a certain death.
14God, look at how these arrogant ones have defied me.
Like a vicious band of violent men, they have tried to kill me.
They wouldn’t worry for a moment that they were sinning against you!
15But Lord, your nurturing love is tender and gentle.
You are slow to get angry yet so swift to show your faithful love.
You are full of abounding grace and truth. # 86:15 As translated from the Aramaic and the Septuagint.
16Bring me to your grace-fountain
so that your strength becomes mine.
Be my hero and come rescue your servant once again!
17Send me a miraculous sign to show me how much you love me,
so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed.
Don’t they know that you, Lord, are my comforter,
the one who comes to help me?

A Prayer for God's Continued Mercy
A Prayer of David.
1Bow down thine ear, O Lord,
hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee daily.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;
and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
for thou wilt answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 #
Rev 15.4. All nations whom thou hast made
shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
and shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy mercy toward me:
and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.#86.13 hell, Hebrew Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen against me,
and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul;
and have not set thee before them.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
give thy strength unto thy servant,
and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Show me a token for good;
that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
