Psalms 86:1-7

1Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.

2Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.

3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.

4Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you.

5O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

6Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry.

7I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.
