[[A prayer of David.]]
[1] Incline thine ear, O Lord , and hear me: for I am poor and needy.
[2] Preserve thou my soul, for I am merciful: my God, save thou thy servant, that trusteth in thee.
[3] Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry upon thee continually.
[4] Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
[5] For thou, Lord, art good and merciful, and of great kindness unto all them, that call upon thee.
[6] Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplication.
[7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou hearest me.
[8] Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can do like 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 alone.
[11] Teach me thy way, O Lord , and I will walk in thy truth: knit mine heart unto thee, that I may fear thy name.
[12] I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I will glorify thy name forever.
[13] For great is thy mercy toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest grave.
[14] O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought my soul, and have not set thee before them.
[15] But thou, O Lord, art a pitiful God and merciful, slow to anger and great in kindness and truth.
[16] Turn unto me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
[17] Show a token of thy goodness toward me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
