1 A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
Hear, O Jehovah, 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.
In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (Sheol h7585)
For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
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 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness 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.
Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a 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,
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!
