¹ A Prayer of David. INCLINE YOUR ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and distressed, needy and desiring. ² Preserve my life, for I am godly and dedicated; O my God, save Your servant, for I trust in You . ³ Be merciful and gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day. ⁴ Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord, for to You do I lift myself up. ⁵ For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive ; and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You. ⁶ Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the cry of my supplications. ⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call on You, for You will answer me. ⁸ There is none like unto You among the gods, O Lord, neither are their works like unto Yours. ⁹ All nations whom You have made shall come and fall down before You, O Lord; and they shall glorify Your name. ¹⁰ For You are great and work wonders! You alone are God. ¹¹ Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth; direct and unite my heart to fear and honor Your name. ¹² I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole (united) heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore. ¹³ For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness toward me; and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol . ¹⁴ O God, the proud and insolent are risen against me; a rabble of violent and ruthless men has sought and demanded my life, and they have not set You before them. ¹⁵ But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness and truth. ¹⁶ O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden. ¹⁷ Show me a sign of goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, help and comfort me.
