Psalms 86:7
5 For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.
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.
9 All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
