Prayer of the Week
3/30
Psalm 86
Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am distressed and needy [I long for Your help].
Protect my life (soul), for I am godly and faithful; O You my God, save Your servant, who trusts in You [believing in You and relying on You, confidently committing everything to You]. Be gracious and merciful to me, O Lord, for to You I cry out all the day long. Make Your servant rejoice, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul [all that I am—in prayer].
For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever]; and abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You. Hear, O Lord, my prayer; and listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)!
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me. There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours. All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name. For You are great and do wondrous works! You alone are God. Teach me Your way, O Lord, I will walk and live in Your truth; direct my heart to fear Your name [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]. I will give thanks and praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and will glorify Your name forevermore.
For great is Your lovingkindness and graciousness toward me; and You have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol [from death]. O God, arrogant and insolent men have risen up against me; a band of violent men have sought my life, and they have not set You before them. But You, O Lord, are a God [who protects and is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth. Turn to me, and be gracious to me; grant Your strength [Your might and the power to resist temptation] to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid. Show me a sign of [Your] goodwill, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, because You, O Lord, helped and comforted me.
