Psalms 86:2

Protection and safetyFaith

1 Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

4 Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
