1 [A Prayer of David]. Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy. VP
2 Preserve my soul; For I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. VP
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long. VP
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. VP
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee. VP
6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications. VP
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me. VP
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works. VP
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name. VP
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. VP
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. VP
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore. VP
13 For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. VP
14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them. VP
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. VP
16 Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid. VP
17 Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. VP
