Psalm 86

A prayer of David

  1. Lord, you are my God. I will praise you and thank you; I will keep your laws.

  2. I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart, and tell of all your wonders.

  3. I will be glad and sing your praises, for you have seen my troubles. You have seen how I suffer, and you know how I feel.

  4. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my body is sick.

  5. My enemies speak evil of me, and they are strong. But you, Lord, are my helper. You are my rock and my savior.

  6. Do not be slow to answer me, Lord. I beg you, do not hide your face from me. Do not turn away from me, or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

  7. Listen to me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

  8. Have mercy on me, Lord, for you are my God. Show me your love, and save me.

  9. Lord, you are my God, and I will praise you. You are my God, and I will thank you.

  10. You are my God, and I will bless you, and I will praise your name forever.

  11. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love will last forever.

This psalm is a prayer of David, asking God for mercy, healing, and deliverance from his enemies. It's a beautiful expression of trust and dependence on God, and a reminder of God's goodness and love.
