1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.
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.
Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
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, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.
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.
Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.
