# Psalm 86 [[Ps-85|← Psalm 85]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-87|Psalm 87 →]] *** ###### v1 Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. ###### v2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly.

Listen to the voice of my petitions. ###### v7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me. ###### v8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds. ###### v9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. ###### v10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone. ###### v11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name. ###### v12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more. ###### v13 For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. ###### v14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don't hold regard for you before them. ###### v15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth. ###### v16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant. ###### v17 Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me. *** [[Ps-85|← Psalm 85]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-87|Psalm 87 →]]
