86
Psalm 86
David's prayer.
A prayer for help
1 Lord, please listen to me,
and answer me!
I am weak and I need help.
2I am your faithful servant,
so keep my life safe!
Please save me, my God,
for I trust in you.
3My Lord, be kind to me.
All through the day,
I am calling to you for help.
4Please make me happy deep inside,
for you are the one that I pray to, my Lord.
5Yes, my Lord, you are very kind,
and you are ready to forgive people.
When anyone calls to you for help,
you love them with your faithful love.
6 Lord, hear my prayer!
Please listen when I call to you for help.
7Whenever trouble comes to me,
I will pray to you.
I know that you will answer me.
8There is no one like you, my Lord,
among all the gods.
Nobody can do the great things that you do.
9You have made all the nations of the world,
and they will all come to worship you, my Lord.
They will agree that your name is great.
10For you are great and you do great things.
You alone are God.
11 Lord, teach me how I should live.
Then I will obey your truth.
Teach me to serve you with all that I am,
so that I respect you with fear.
12My Lord and my God,
I will thank you with all my strength.
I will praise your name for ever!
13I know that you love me very much
with your faithful love.
You will continue to keep my life safe,
so that I do not go down into the deep hole of death.
14God, proud people are attacking me.
Cruel men have joined together to kill me.
They do not respect you at all.
15But you, my Lord, are a kind God
who forgives people.
You do not quickly become angry,
and your faithful love is very great.
We can always trust you
to do what you have promised.
16Turn to me and be kind to me.
I am your servant, so make me strong.
Please rescue your slave!
17Help me, so that I know you are pleased with me.
Then my enemies will see it,
and they will be ashamed.
They will know that you, Lord,
have helped me and comforted me.
