A prayer of David.
Psalm 86:1-12 NWT
86 Incline, O Jehovah, your ear. Answer me, For I am afflicted and poor. 2 O do guard my soul, for I am loyal. Save your servant-you are my God-that is trusting in you. 3 Show me favor, O Jehovah, For to you I keep calling all day long. 4 Make the soul of your servant rejoice, For to you, O Jehovah, I lift up my very soul. 5 For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive; And the loving-kindness to all those calling upon you is abundant. 6 Do give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer; And do pay attention to the voice of my entreaties. 7 In the day of my distress I will call upon you, For you will answer me. 8 There is none like you among the gods, O Jehovah, Neither are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations whom you have made will themselves come, And they will bow down before you, O Jehovah, And will give glory to your name. 10 For you are great and are doing wondrous things; You are God, you alone. 11 Instruct me, O Jehovah, about your way. I shall walk in your truth. Unify my heart to fear your name. 12 I laud you, O Jehovah my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify your name to time indefinite,
