| 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. |
