A prayer of David. O Lord, incline Your ear; answer me for I am poor and needy.
Watch my soul for I am a pious man; save Your servant—You, my God—who trusts in You.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I call to You all the days.
Cause the soul of Your servant to rejoice, for to You, O Lord, I lift my soul.
For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, with much kindness to all who call You.
Lend Your ear, O Lord, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.
On the day of my distress I shall call You, for You will answer me.
There is none like You among the godly, O Lord, neither is there any like Your works.
All nations that You made will come and prostrate themselves before You, O Lord, and glorify Your name.
For You are great and perform wonders, You, O God, alone.
Teach me Your way, O Lord; I shall walk in Your truth. Unify my heart to fear Your name.
I shall thank You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I shall glorify Your name forever.
For Your kindness is great toward me, and You have saved my soul from the lowest depths of the grave.
O God, wilful transgressors have risen against me, [and a company of mighty ones have sought my life,] and they did not place You before themselves.
But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and with much kindness and truth.
Turn to me and be gracious to me; grant Your might to Your servant and save the son of Your maidservant.
Grant me a sign for good, and let my enemies see [it] and be ashamed, for You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
