A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2 Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperantem in te.

Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.

4 laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te Domine animam meam levavi.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 Quoniam tu Domine suavis, et mitis: et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te.

For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

6 Auribus percipe Domine orationem meam: et intende voci deprecationis meae.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.

7 In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te: quia exaudisti me,

In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.

8 Non est similis tui in diis Domine: et non est secundum opera tua.

O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.

9 Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti, venient, et adorabunt coram te Domine: et glorificabunt nomen tuum.

All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

10 Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia: tu es Deus solus.

For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.

11 Deduc me Domine in via tua, et ingrediar in veritate tua: laetetur cor meum ut timeat nomen tuum.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.

12 Confitebor tibi Domine Deus meus in toto corde meo. et glorificabo nomen tuum in aeternum:

I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.

13 Quia misericordia tua magna est super me: et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori. (Sheol h7585)

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me, et synagoga potentium quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo.

The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.

15 Et tu Domine Deus miserator et misericors, patiens, et multae misericordiae, et verax,

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

16 Respice in me, et miserere mei, da imperium tuum puero tuo: et salvum fac filium ancillae tuae.

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

17 Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui oderunt me, et confundantur: quoniam tu Domine adiuvisti me, et consolatus es me.

Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
