1Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;For I am poor and needy.2Preserve my soul; for I am godly:O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.3Be merciful unto me, O Lord;For unto thee do I cry all the day long.4Rejoice the soul of thy servant;For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;For thou wilt answer me.8There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;Neither are there any works like unto thy works.9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;And they shall glorify thy name.10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:Thou art God alone.11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:Unite my heart to fear thy name.12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;And I will glorify thy name for evermore.13For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.14O God, the proud are risen up against me,And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,And have not set thee before them.15But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.16Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;Give thy strength unto thy servant,And save the son of thy handmaid.17Show me a token for good,That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
