Psalm 86:1-7

1Hear, O Lord, and answer me,

for I am poor and needy.

2Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.

You are my God; save your servant

who trusts in you.

3Have mercy on me, O Lord,

for I call to you all day long.

4Bring joy to your servant,

for to you, O Lord,

I lift up my soul.

5You are forgiving and good, O Lord,

abounding in love to all who call to you.

6Hear my prayer, O Lord;

listen to my cry for mercy.

7In the day of my trouble I will call to you,

for you will answer me.
