Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me;For I am afflicted and needy.Keep my soul, for I am a holy one;O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You.Be gracious to me, O Lord,For to You I call all day long.Make glad the soul of Your slave,For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving,And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer;And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
In the day of my distress I shall call upon You,For You will answer me.There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,Nor are there any works like Yours.All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,And they shall glorify Your name.For You are great and do wondrous deeds;You alone are God.Teach me Your way, O Yahweh;I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,And will glorify Your name forever.For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below.
from Psalm 86
