¹A prayer of David.

Incline, O Lord, your ear,

And answer me,

For I am poor and needy.

²Guard my soul,

For I am under your grace.

You who are my God,

Save your servant

Who trusts in you.

³Have mercy on me, O Lord^*,

For I cry out to you all day long.

⁴Gladden the heart of your servant,

For to you, O Lord^*,

I lift up my being.

⁵For you, O Lord^*, are good and forgiving,

And abundant in kindness to all who call on you.

⁶Listen, O Lord, to my prayer,

And hearken to the sound of my supplications.

⁷On the day of my adversity,

I will call on you,

For you will answer me.

⁸There is none like you among the gods, O Lord^*,

And there is nothing like your works.

⁹All the nations which you made

Will come and worship before you, O Lord^*,

And they will glorify your name.

You alone are God.

¹¹Teach me, O Lord, your way;

I will walk in your truth.

Unite my heart to fear your name.

¹²I will praise you, O Lord^* my God, with all my heart,

And I will glorify your name age-abidingly.

¹³For your kindness towards me is great,

And you have delivered my being from the lowest underworld.

¹⁴O God, the insolent have risen up against me,

And the congregation of the violent seek my life,

And they have not placed you before them.

¹⁵But you, O Lord^*, are a God of mercy and grace,

Forbearing, and abundant in kindness and truth.

¹⁶Turn to me and be merciful to me;

Give your strength to your servant,

And save the son of your maidservant.

¹⁷Give me a favourable sign,

So that those who hate me

May see it and be ashamed,

Because you are the Lord

Who helped me and comforted me.
