Psalms 86:1-11

LORD, listen to me and answer me. I am poor and helpless. Protect me, because I worship you. My God, save me, your servant who trusts in you. Lord, have mercy on me, because I have called to you all day. Give happiness to me, your servant, because I give my life to you, Lord. Lord, you are kind and forgiving and have great love for those who call to you. LORD, hear my prayer, and listen when I ask for mercy. I call to you in times of trouble, because you will answer me. Lord, there is no god like you and no works like yours. Lord, all the nations you have made will come and worship you. They will honor you. You are great and you do miracles. Only you are God. LORD, teach me what you want me to do, and I will live by your truth. Teach me to respect you completely.
