1Ein Gebet Davids. HERR, vernimm mein Gebet und erhöre mich, denn ich brauche deine Hilfe. (Ps 17,7; Ps 40,18)2Beschütze mich, denn ich bin dir treu. Rette deinen Diener, der auf dich allein vertraut. Du bist mein Gott. (Ps 4,4; Ps 25,20)3Hab Erbarmen, Herr, denn ich rufe unablässig zu dir.4Schenke mir wieder Freude, Herr, denn mein Leben liegt in deiner Hand.5Herr, du bist so gut und immer bereit zu vergeben, voller Gnade für alle, die dich um Hilfe bitten. (Ps 103,8; Ps 130,4)6Höre mein Gebet, HERR, vernimm mein Flehen. (Ps 55,2)7Zu dir will ich kommen, wann immer mich die Sorgen überwältigen, und du wirst mich erhören. (Ps 50,14)8Herr, kein anderer Gott ist dir gleich und niemand kann tun, was du tust. (2Mo 15,11; 5Mo 3,24)9Herr, alle Völker, die du gemacht hast, werden kommen und dich anbeten und deinen Namen preisen. (Jes 66,23; Offb 15,3)10Denn du bist groß und tust Wunder. Du allein bist Gott. (5Mo 32,39; Jes 44,6; Mk 12,29; 1Kor 8,4)11HERR, zeige mir den richtigen Weg, damit ich nach deiner Wahrheit lebe! Gib mir das Verlangen ins Herz, dich zu ehren. (Ps 25,5; Jer 32,39)12Von ganzem Herzen will ich dich preisen, Herr, mein Gott. Ich will deinen Namen stets verherrlichen, (Ps 111,1)13denn deine Liebe zu mir ist groß. Ich war so gut wie tot, doch du hast mich gerettet.[1] (Ps 30,4)14Gott, unverschämte Menschen greifen mich an, grausame Menschen wollen mich töten. Vor dir haben sie keine Ehrfurcht. (Ps 54,5)15Doch du, Herr, bist ein gnädiger und barmherziger Gott mit viel Geduld und voll Gnade und Wahrheit.16Wende dich zu mir und erbarme dich. Gib deinem Diener Kraft, ja, rette mich, denn dir diene ich. (Ps 68,36)17HERR, gib mir ein Zeichen deiner Güte. Dann werden sich alle, die mich hassen, schämen, weil du mir hilfst und mich tröstest. (Ps 112,10; Ps 118,13; Ps 119,122)
