Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. |

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. |
| 86.4 |
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. |

| 86.6 |
Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions. |

In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me. |
| 86.8 |
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds. |

God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them. |
| 86.15 |
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth. |
| 86.16 |

| 86.17 |
Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me. |
