1Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;

For I am poor and needy.

2Preserve my soul; for I am godly:

O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

3Be merciful unto me, O Lord;

For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

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 abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;

And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;

For thou wilt answer me.

8There is none like unto thee among the gods, 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 they shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:

Thou art God alone.

11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:

Unite my heart to fear thy name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

And I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;

And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
