Psalms 86:1-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me,for I am oppressed and needy.

2. Preserve my soul, for I am godly;You are my God; save Your servantwho trusts in You.

3. Have mercy on me, O Lord,for to You I cry all day long.

4. Gladden the soul of Your servant,for to You, O Lord,I lift my soul.

5. For You, Lord, are good, and forgiving,abounding in kindness to all who call on You.

6. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer,and attend to my plea for mercy.

7. In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,for You will answer me.

8. Among the gods there is none like You, OLord;neither are there any works like Your works.

9. All nations whom You have madeshall come and worship before You, O Lord,and shall glorify Your name.

10. For You are great and do wondrous deeds;You are God alone.

11. Teach me Your way, O Lord,that I will walk in Your truth;bind my heartto fear Your name.

12. I will give You thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart,and I will glorify Your name forever.

13. For great is Your mercy toward me,and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14. O God, insolent men have risen against me,and bands of violent men have sought my life;they have not set You before them.

15. But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious,slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and truth.

16. Turn to me and have mercy on me;give Your strength to Your servant,and save the humble son of Your female servant.
