1 A Prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O YHWH; answer me, for I [am] afflicted and in need. VP
2 May You guard my life, for [am] I faithful; may You save Your servant—the one trusting in You—You my God. VP
3 Show favor to me, O Lord, for to You I call out all the day. VP
4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. VP
5 For You, O Lord, [are] good and forgiving, and abundant in loving devotion to all those calling on You. VP
6 Give ear, O YHWH, [to] my prayer, and attend to the voice of my pleas. VP
7 In the day of my distress I call on you, for You will answer me! VP
8 None like You [is] among the gods, O Lord, and not like Your works. VP
9 All the nations whom You have made shall come and bow down before Your face, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name. VP
10 For You [are] great, and the One doing wonders; You [are] God—You alone. VP
11 Instruct me, O YHWH, [in] Your way, [and] I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name. VP
12 I will confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forever. VP
13 For Your loving devotion [is] great toward me. And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. VP
14 O God, arrogant ones have risen against me, and a gathering of ruthless ones have sought my life; and they do not set You before them. VP
15 But You, O Lord, [are] a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness. VP
16 Turn to me and show favor to me; give Your strength to Your servant, and give salvation to the son of Your maidservant. VP
17 Make with me a sign for good, and those hating me will see it and be put to shame! For You, YHWH, have helped me and comforted me! VP
