Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 86
Lament and Petition
A prayer of David.
1 Listen, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.(A)
2 Protect my life, for I am faithful.(B)
You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.(C)
3 Be gracious to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.(D)
4 Bring joy to your servant’s life,
because I appeal to you, Lord.(E)
5 For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,(F)
abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.(G)
6 Lord, hear my prayer;
listen to my cries for mercy.(H)
7 I call on you in the day of my distress,
for you will answer me.(I)
8 Lord, there is no one like you among the gods,
and there are no works like yours.(J)
9 All the nations you have made
will come and bow down before you, Lord,
and will honor your name.(K)
10 For you are great and perform wonders;
you alone are God.(L)
