[1] Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. [2] Keep my soul, for I am a holy one; O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You. [3] Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I call all day long. [4] Make glad the soul of Your slave, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. [5] For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. [6] Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer; And give heed to the voice of my supplications! [7] In the day of my distress I shall call upon You, For You will answer me. [8] There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. [9] All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. [10] For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. [11] Teach me Your way, O Yahweh; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. [12] I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. [13] For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below. [14] O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of ruthless men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. [15] But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. [16] Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Your strength to Your slave, And save the son of Your maidservant. [17] Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
