- A Prayer of David.
Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
- 2
- Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
- 3
- Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
- 4
- Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
- 5
- For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving.
And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
- 6
- Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
- 7
- In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
- 8
- There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
- 9
- All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
- 10
- For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
- 11
- Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
- 12
- I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
- 13
- For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
- 14
- O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
- 15
- And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
- 16
- Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
- 17
- Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
