I love this Psalm because its full David's praises to God for who He is. As you read, you can see how David reminds God of His promises as well as David making promises to God. Not only do read about David's promises to God, you read a few requests that David made known to God.
This Psalm is full of inspiration and it stirs your spirit. Psalm 86 is one of those psalms that you have to read all the way through to reap the full benefit spiritually.
Psalm 86
A Prayer of David. Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; For I [am] poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I [am] holy; You are my God; Save Your servant who trusts in You!
Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long.
Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For You, Lord, [are] good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me.
Among the gods [there is] none like You, O Lord; Nor [are there any works] like Your works.
All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name.
For You [are] great, and do wondrous things; You alone [are] God.
Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.
I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
For great [is] Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent [men] have sought my life, And have not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, [are] a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.
Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant.
Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see [it] and be ashamed, Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
May this psalm reading be a blessing to you mind, body, and spirit. Blessings, Peace, and Love to you always!!!!
