psalm 86 - NIV - slightly amended for me

Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save me Lord for I trust in you.
You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to me, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy.

When I am in distress, I call to you, because you alone can answer me.
There is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made will come and worship before you,
 Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.
 Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness;
Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. 
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
 Arrogant foes are attacking me, The world is deceiving me O God;
They have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of me - one who wants to worship and serve you; save me, because I want to serve you
Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, Lord
, have helped me and comforted me.
