Great Is Your Steadfast Love
86:0 [Ps. 72:20]A Prayer of David.

186:1 See Ps. 31:2Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am 86:1 Ps. 40:17poor and needy.
2Preserve my life, for I am 86:2 See Ps. 50:5godly;
save your servant, who 86:2 See Ps. 11:1trusts in you—you are my God.
386:3 ver. 16; Ps. 56:1; 57:1; See Ps. 4:1Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4Gladden the soul of your servant,
for 86:4 See Ps. 25:1to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, O Lord, are good and 86:5 Ps. 130:4forgiving,
86:5 ver. 15; Ps. 103:8; 145:8, 9; Ex. 34:6; Joel 2:13abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
686:6 Ps. 55:1, 2Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.
7In 86:7 See Ps. 77:2the day of my trouble I call upon you,
86:7 Ps. 17:6for you answer me.

8There is 86:8 [Ps. 89:6; Ex. 15:11] none like you among the gods, O Lord,
86:8 Deut. 3:24nor are there any works like yours.
986:9 Ps. 66:4; [Ps. 22:31; 65:2; Isa. 66:23; Zech. 14:18; Rev. 15:4]All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10For 86:10 Ps. 77:13you are great and 86:10 See Ps. 72:18do wondrous things;
86:10 Deut. 6:4; Isa. 37:16; 44:6, 8; 1 Cor. 8:4, 6you alone are God.
1186:11 See Ps. 25:4Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may 86:11 Ps. 26:3walk in your truth;
86:11 [Jer. 32:39]unite my heart to fear your name.
12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
1386:13 [ver. 5] For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have 86:13 Ps. 30:3; [Ps. 88:6; Ezek. 26:20]delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14O God, insolent men have 86:14 Ps. 54:3risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
15But you, O Lord, are a God 86:15 ver. 5; Ps. 111:4; 112:4; Num. 14:18; Neh. 9:17; Jonah 4:2; See Ps. 62:12merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
1686:16 See Ps. 25:16Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to 86:16 See Ps. 116:16your servant,
and save 86:16 See Ps. 116:16the son of your maidservant.
1786:17 [Judg. 6:17] Show me a sign of your 86:17 Neh. 5:19; 13:31favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
