| 1LORD, listen and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy. | 1Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. |
| 2Protect me, for I am faithful; My God, deliver your servant who trusts in you. | 2Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God. |
| 3Have mercy on me Lord, for I call on you all day long. | 3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly. |
| 4Your servant rejoices, because, Lord, I set my hope on you. | 4Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you. |
| 5Indeed you, Lord, are kind and forgiving, overflowing with gracious love to everyone who calls on you. | 5O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. |
| 6Hear my prayer, LORD; attend to my prayer of supplication. | 6Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD; hear my urgent cry. |
| 7In my troubled times I will call on you, for you will answer me. | 7I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me. |
| 8No one can compare with you among the gods, Lord; No one can accomplish your work. | 8No pagan god is like you, O Lord. None can do what you do! |
| 9All the nations that you have established will come and worship you, my Lord. They will honor your name. | 9All the nations you made will come and bow before you, Lord; they will praise your holy name. |
| 10For you are great, and you are doing awesome things; you alone are God. | 10For you are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God. |
| 11Teach me your ways, LORD, that I may walk in your truth; let me wholeheartedly revere your name. | 11Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. |
| 12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole being; and I will honor your name continuously. | 12With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, |
| 13For great is your gracious love to me; you've delivered me from the depths of Sheol. | 13for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death. |
| 14God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you. | 14O God, insolent people rise up against me; a violent gang is trying to kill me. You mean nothing to them. |
| 15But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness. | 15But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. |
| 16Return to me and have mercy on me; clothe your servant with your strength and deliver the son of your maid servant. | 16Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant; save me, the son of your servant. |
| 17Show me a sign of your goodness, so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed. For you, LORD, will help and comfort me. | 17Send me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O LORD, help and comfort me. |
