Psalm 86 by Jennifer Somers and Tyler Somers

Lyrics:
O Lord my God incline Your ear
And answer me for I am poor
Preserve my life rescue this slave
Who trusts in You O Lord my God

O Lord my God show me Your Grace
To you I cry all the day
Make glad this soul Your servant save
My soul I lift to You my God

Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You

O Lord my God You are so good
Quick to forgive and bountiful
In loving kindness to everyone
Who calls on You O Lord my God

Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You
Only You only You

O Lord my God I will give thanks
With my whole heart and glorify
Your name forever for You have saved
My soul from Hell O Lord my God

Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You
Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You
Only You only You only You

Passage:
1 Listen, LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Protect my life, for I am faithful.
You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be gracious to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant’s life,
because I appeal to you, Lord.

5 For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,
abounding in faithful love to all who call on you.
6 LORD, hear my prayer;
listen to my cries for mercy.
7 I call on you in the day of my distress,
for you will answer me.

8 Lord, there is no one like you among the gods,
and there are no works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and bow down before you, Lord,
and will honor your name.
10 For you are great and perform wonders;
you alone are God.

11 Teach me your way, LORD,
and I will live by your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear your name.
12 I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God,
and will honor your name forever.
13 For your faithful love for me is great,
and you rescue my life from the depths of Sheol.
(Psalm 86:1-13 CSB)

O God, whose never-failing providence orders all things both in heaven and earth; we humbly beseech you to put away from us all hurtful things and to give us those things that are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
