NET BibleNew Living Translation
1A prayer of David. Listen O LORD! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy. 1Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.
2Protect me, for I am loyal! O 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, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long! 3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.
4Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray! 4Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you.
5Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you. 5O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
6O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for mercy! 6Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD; hear my urgent cry.
7In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me. 7I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.
8None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable! 8No pagan god is like you, O Lord. None can do what you do!
9All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O 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 do amazing things. You alone are God. 10For you are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God.
11O LORD, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you! 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.
12O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually! 12With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever,
13For you will extend your great loyal love to me, and will deliver my life from the depths of Sheol. 13for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.
14O God, arrogant men attack me; a gang of ruthless men, who do not respect you, seek my life. 14O God, insolent people rise up against me; a violent gang is trying to kill me. You mean nothing to them.
15But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient and demonstrate great loyal 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.
16Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver your slave! 16Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant; save me, the son of your servant.
17Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O LORD, will help me 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.
