Psalms 86:1-7

Psalms 86

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A prayer of David.

1Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

4Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

6Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

7In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.
