Psalms 86:3-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 86
3Be gracious to me, Lord, For I call upon You all day long. 4Make the soul of Your servant joyful, For to You, Lord, I lift up my soul. 5For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You. 6Listen, Lord, to my prayer; And give Your attention to the sound of my pleading! 7On the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. 8There is no one like You among the gods, Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. 9All nations whom You have made will come and worship before You, Lord, And they will glorify Your name. 10For You are great, and you do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. 11Teach me Your way, Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. 12I will give thanks to You, Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forever. 13For Your graciousness toward me is great, And You have saved my soul from the depths of Sheol. 14God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a gang of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. 15But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and truth.King James Version

5For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.
6 Lord, hear my prayer; listen to my plea for mercy.
7I call on you in the day of my distress, for you will answer me.
8Lord, there is no one like you among the gods, and there are no works like yours.
9All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord, and will honor your name.
10For you are great and perform wonders; you alone are God.
11Teach me your way, Lord, and I will live by your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.
12I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God, and will honor your name forever.
13For your faithful love for me is great, and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol.
14God, arrogant people have attacked me; a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me. They do not let you guide them.
15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.

13For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
14Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you.
15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
