Psalm 86:11-17

11Teach me your way, O Lord,

and I will walk in your truth;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

12I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;

I will glorify your name forever.

13For great is your love toward me;

you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.^a

14The arrogant are attacking me, O God;

a band of ruthless men seeks my life—

men without regard for you.

15But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

16Turn to me and have mercy on me;

grant your strength to your servant

and save the son of your maidservant.^b

17Give me a sign of your goodness,

that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,

for you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me
