As I live says the Lord God, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man
but rather in his conversion, that he may live. Cf. Ezekiel 33:11 (NRSVCE)
A Prayer of David
Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in Your truth. (Psalm 86:11A)Incline your ear, O Lord and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am
devoted to You; Save Your servant who trusts in You.
Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in Your truth. (Psalm 86:11A)
You are My God, be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long. Gladden the soul of
Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in Your truth. (Psalm 86:11A)
For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on You.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; Listen to my supplication.
Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in Your truth. (Psalm 86:11A)In the day of my trouble I call on You, for You will answer me. There is none like You among
the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours. All the nations You have made shall come
and bow down before You, O Lord and shall glorify Your Name. For You are great and do
wondrous things; You alone are God. Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your
truth; Give me an undivided heart to revere Your name. I give thanks to You, O Lord My God,
with my whole heart and I will glorify Your name forever. For great is Your steadfast love
toward me; You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. O God, the insolent rise up
against me, a band of ruffians seek my life and they do not set You before them but You, O
Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and
faithfulness. Turn to me and be gracious to me; Give Your strength to Your servant; Save the
child of Your serving girl. Show me a sign of Your favor, so that those who hate me may see it
and be put to shame because You Lord, have helped me and comforted me. –Psalm 86:1-17
