| 1 | A Prayer of David. Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; For I am poor and needy. | |
| 2 | Preserve my life, for I am holy; You are my God; Save Your servant who trusts in You! | |
| 3 | Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long. | |
| 4 | Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. | |
| 5 | For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. | |
| 6 | Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications. | |
| 7 | In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. | |
| 8 | Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. | |
| 9 | All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. | |
| 10 | For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. | |
| 11 | Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. | |
| 12 | I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. | |
| 13 | For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. | |
| 14 | O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. | |
| 15 | But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. | |
| 16 | Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant. | |
| 17 | Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me. | |
