1 BOW down thine 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 unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. | |
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. | |
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. | |
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto 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 unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto 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 toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. | |
14 O God, the proud are 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, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. | |
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. | |
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. | |
