* A Prayer of David.
aBow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me:
For bI am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am * holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant cthat trusteth in thee.
3 dBe merciful unto me, O Lord:
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
For funto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ffready to forgive;
And gplenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 hGive ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;
And hiattend to the voice of my supplications.
7 jIn the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
kFor thou wilt answer me.
8 lAmong the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
Neither are there any works mlike unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made nshall come
And oworship before thee, O Lord;
And shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art pgreat, and qdoest wondrous things:
rThou art God alone.
11 sTeach me thy way, O Lord; tI will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me:
And thou hast udelivered my soul from vthe lowest * hell.
14 O God, wthe proud are risen against me,
And the assemblies of * violent men have sought after my soul;
And have not set thee before them.
15 xBut thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering, and gplenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O yturn unto me, and dhave mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto zthy servant,
And save zthe son of thine handmaid.
17 aShew me a token bfor good;
That they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
Because thou, Lord, hast c holpen me, and comforted me.
