[1] Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; For I am poor and needy. [2] Preserve my life, for I am holy; You are my God; Save Your servant who trusts in You! [3] Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long. [4] Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. [5] For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. [6] Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications. [7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. [8] Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. [9] All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. [10] For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. [11] Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. [12] I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. [13] For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. [14] O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. [15] But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. [16] Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, 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, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
