1A Prayer of David. Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.2Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.3Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.4Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.7In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.8There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.9All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.10For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.11Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.13For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.14O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.15But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.16Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant.17Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
