Psalm 86

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.

Incline your ear, O Lord; answer me, for I am afflicted and poor.

Keep my life, for I am devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for to you I call all the day.

Gladden the soul of your servant,

for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.

Hearken, O Lord, to my prayer

and attend to the sound of my pleading.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.
