86:1  A prayer of David. O Eternal One, lend an ear to my prayer and answer me, for I am weak and wanting.
86:2  Safeguard my soul, for I remain loyal to You. Save me, Your servant, who trusts in You, my God.
86:3  O Lord, please be merciful to me, as all day long I cry out to You.
86:4  Bring joy into the life of Your servant, for it’s only to You, O Lord, that I offer my soul.

86:7  When times of trouble come, I will call to You because I know You will respond to me.
86:8  O Lord, You stand alone among the other gods; nothing they have done compares to Your wonderful works.
86:9  O Lord, all the peoples of earth—every nation You established— will come to You, bowing low to worship, and rightly honor Your great name.

86:16  Look at me, and grant me Your favor. Invest Your strength in me, Your servant, and rescue me, Your handmaiden’s child.
86:17  Give me a sign so I may know Your goodness rests on me and so those who hate me will be red with shame at the sight of it. For You, O Eternal One, have come to my aid and offered me relief.
