Psalms 86:6
4 Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.
7 In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.
8 O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
