- [A prayer of Dauid.]
- 1
- Bow downe thine eare O God, and heare me: for I am poore and in miserie.
- 2
- Preserue thou my soule, for I am holy: my God saue thy seruaunt that putteth his trust in thee.
- 3
- Be mercifull vnto me O God: for I do call dayly vpon thee.
- 4
- Comfort the soule of thy seruaunt: for vnto thee O Lord do I lift vp my soule.
- 5
- For thou Lorde art good and gracious: and of great mercy vnto all them that call vpon thee.
- 6
- Geue eare O God vnto my prayer: and be attentiue vnto the voyce of my humble petitions.
- 7
- I call vpon thee in the day of my trouble: for thou hearest me.
- 8
- Among the gods there is none like vnto thee O Lorde: there is not one that can do as thou doest.
- 9
- All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship thee O Lorde: and shall glorifie thy name.
- 10
- For thou art great and doest wonderous thinges: thou art God alone.
- 11
- Teache me thy way O God, and I wyll walke in thy trueth: make my heart all one with thyne, that it may feare thy name.
- 12
- I wyll acknowledge thee O Lorde my God with all my heart: and I wyl glorifie thy name for euer.
- 13
- For great is thy mercy towarde me: and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest [part of] hell.
- 14
- O God, the proude are rysen against me: a companie of outragious naughtipackes haue sought after my soule, and haue not set thee before their eyes.
- 15
- But thou O Lorde art a God full of compassion and mercy: long yet thou be angry, plenteous in goodnes and trueth.
- 16
- Turne thy face vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: geue thy strength vnto thy seruaunt, and helpe the sonne of thine handmayde.
- 17
- Shewe some good token of thy fauour towardes me, that they whiche hate me may see it and be ashamed: because thou God hast helped me, and comforted me.
