[1] Bow down Thine ear, O LORD; hear me, for I am poor and needy. [2] Preserve my soul, for I am holy; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. [3] Be merciful unto me, O Lord, for I cry unto Thee daily. [4] Make the soul of Thy servant rejoice, for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. [5] For Thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. [6] Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. [7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me. [8] Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works 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 alone art God. [11] Teach me Thy way, O LORD; I will walk in Thy truth; unite my heart to fear Thy name. [12] I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Thy name for evermore. [13] For great is Thy mercy toward me, and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. [14] O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them. [15] But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. [16] O turn unto me and have mercy upon me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thine handmaid. [17] Show me a token for good, that they that hate me may see it and be ashamed, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me and comforted me.
