||A Prayer of David.

1aBow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me:

For bI am poor and needy.

2Preserve my soul; for I am ||holy:

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

3dBe merciful unto me, O Lord:

For eI cry unto thee ||daily.

4Rejoice the soul of thy servant:

For funto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5For thou, Lord, art good, and ffready to forgive;

And gplenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

6hGive ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;

And hiattend to the voice of my supplications.

7jIn the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:

kFor thou wilt answer me.

8lAmong the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;

Neither are there any works mlike unto thy works.

9All nations whom thou hast made nshall come

And oworship before thee, O Lord;

And shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art pgreat, and qdoest wondrous things:

rThou art God alone.

11sTeach me thy way, O Lord; tI 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.

A Prayer of David.

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,

for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am godly;

save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.

Be gracious to me, O Lord,

for to you do I cry all the day.

Gladden the soul of your servant,

for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,

abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;

listen to my plea for grace.

In the day of my trouble I call upon you,

for you answer me.

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,

nor are there any works like yours.

All the nations you have made shall come

and worship before you, O Lord,

and shall glorify your name.

For you are great and do wondrous things;

you alone are God.

Teach me your way, O Lord,

that I may walk in your truth;

unite my heart to fear your name.

I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,

and I will glorify your name forever.
