[1]{A Prayer of David.} Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
[2]Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.
[3]Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.
[4]Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
[5]For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
[6]Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
[7]In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
[8]Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
[9]All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
[10]For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
[11]Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
[12]I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
[13]For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
[14]O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.
[15]But thou, Lord, art a ùGod merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
[16]Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
[17]Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
