Psalm 86:5-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

6. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;listen to my plea for grace.

7. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.

8. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.

9. All the nations you have made shall comeand worship before you, O Lord,and shall glorify your name.

10. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.

11. Teach me your way, O Lord,that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

12. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,and I will glorify your name forever.

13. For great is your steadfast love toward me;you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14. O God, insolent men have risen up against me;a band of ruthless men seeks my life,and they do not set you before them.

15. But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

16. Turn to me and be gracious to me;give your strength to your servant,and save the son of your maidservant.
