A Prayer of David.
86 (A)Incline Your ear, Lord, and answer me;

2 (C)Protect my [a]soul, for I am (D)godly;
You my God, save Your servant who (E)trusts in You.
3 Be (F)gracious to me, Lord,
For (G)I call upon You all day long.
4 Make the soul of Your servant joyful,
For to You, Lord, (H)I lift up my soul.

And (K)abundant in mercy to all who call upon You.

14 God, arrogant men have (A)risen up against me,
And a gang of violent men have sought my [a]life,
And they have not set You before them.
15 But You, Lord, are a (B)compassionate and gracious God,
Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and [b]truth.
16 (C)Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
(D)Grant Your strength to Your servant,
And save the (E)son of Your maidservant.
17 (F)Show me a sign of good,
That those who hate me may (G)see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, (H)have helped me and comforted me.
