1Bow down Thine ear, O LORD, hear me; for I am poor and needy. 2Preserve my soul; for I am holy. O Thou my God, save Thy servant who trusteth in Thee. 3Be merciful unto me, O LORD; for I cry unto Thee daily. 4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 5For Thou, LORD, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them who call upon Thee. 6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7In the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me. 8Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O LORD; neither are there any works like unto Thy works. 9All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O LORD; and shall glorify Thy name. 10For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone. 11Teach me Thy way, O LORD; I will walk in Thy truth; unite my heart to fear Thy name. 12I will praise Thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Thy name for evermore. 13For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest sheol {hell}. 14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them. 15But Thou, O LORD, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16Oh, turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thine handmaid. 17Show me a sign {token} for good, that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
