1. A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 to me, O Lord for I cry to thee daily.
4. Rejoice the soul of thy servant for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5. For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
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 thee for thou wilt answer me.
8. Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O Lord; neither [are there any works] 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; 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 towards 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, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16. O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17. Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
