2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.

6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
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, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol )
14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
