86:6 Lord, hear my prayer, and listen when I ask for mercy.
86:7 I call to you in times of trouble, because you will answer me.
86:8 Lord, there is no god like you and no works like yours.
86:9 Lord, all the nations you have made will come and worship you. They will honor you.
86:10 You are great and you do miracles. Only you are God.
86:11 Lord, teach me what you want me to do, and I will live by your truth. Teach me to respect you completely.
86:12 Lord, my God, I will praise you with all my heart, and I will honor your name forever.
86:13 You have great love for me. You have saved me from death.
86:14 God, proud people are attacking me; a gang of cruel people is trying to kill me. They do not respect you.
86:15 But, Lord, you are a God who shows mercy and is kind. You don’t become angry quickly. You have great love and faithfulness.
86:16 Turn to me and have mercy. Give me, your servant, strength. Save me, the son of your female servant.
