Breaking Down David's Prayer of Psalm 86

 HAVE MERCY

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.

 YOU Are Merciful

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.

 

YOU Are the MIGHTY GOD

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

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.

 Deliver me by Your Mercy

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!
 

--Do It-- For YOU are GOD

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.
PSALM 86 (NKJV)
