A Prayer by David.
[1] Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,for I am poor and needy.
[2] Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
[3] Be merciful to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
[4] Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
[5] For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
[6] Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions.
[7] In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
for you will answer me.
[8] There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
nor any deeds like your deeds.
[9] All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They shall glorify your name.
[10] For you are great, and do wondrous things.
You are God alone.
[11] Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
[12] I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I will glorify your name forever more.
[13] For your loving kindness is great toward me.
You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.ⓘ
[14] God, the proud have risen up against me.
A company of violent men have sought after my soul,
and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
[15] But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
[16] Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give your strength to your servant.
Save the son of your servant.
[17] Show me a sign of your goodness,
that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed,
because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

A Prayer H8605 of David. H1732
[1] Bow down H5186 thine ear, H241 O Lord, H3068 hear H6030 me:For I am poor H6041 and needy. H34
[2] Preserve H8104 my soul; H5315 for I am holy:§ H2623
O thou my God, H430 save H3467 thy servant H5650 that trusteth H982 in thee.
[3] Be merciful H2603 unto me, O Lord: H136
For H3588 I cry H7121 unto thee daily. H3117§
[4] Rejoice H8055 the soul H5315 of thy servant: H5650
For H3588 unto H413 thee, O Lord, H136 do I lift up H5375 my soul. H5315
[5] For H3588 thou, Lord, H136 art good, H2896 and ready to forgive; H5546
And plenteous H7227 in mercy H2617 unto all them that call H7121 upon thee.
[6] Give ear, H238 O Lord, H3068 unto my prayer; H8605
And attend H7181 to the voice H6963 of my supplications. H8469
[7] In the day H3117 of my trouble H6869 I will call H7121 upon thee:
For thou wilt answer H6030 me.
[8] Among the gods H430 there is none like unto thee, O Lord; H136
Neither are there any works like unto thy works. H4639
[9] All H3605 nations H1471 whom H834 thou hast made H6213 shall come H935 and worship H7812 before H6440 thee, O Lord; H136
And shall glorify H3513 thy name. H8034
[10] For thou art great, H1419 and doest H6213 wondrous things: H6381
Thou art God H430 alone.
[11] Teach H3384 me thy way, H1870 O Lord; H3068 I will walk H1980 in thy truth: H571
Unite H3161 my heart H3824 to fear H3372 thy name. H8034
[12] I will praise H3034 thee, O Lord H136 my God, H430 with all my heart: H3824
And I will glorify H3513 thy name H8034 for evermore. H5769
[13] For H3588 great H1419 is thy mercy H2617 toward me:
And thou hast delivered H5337 my soul H5315 from the lowest H8482 hell. H7585§
[14] O God, H430 the proud H2086 are risen H6965 against H5921 me,
And the assemblies H5712 of violent H6184§ men have sought H1245 after my soul; H5315 And have not set H7760 thee before them.
[15] But thou, O Lord, H136 art a God H410 full of compassion, H7349 and gracious, H2587
Longsuffering, H750 H639 and plenteous H7227 in mercy H2617 and truth. H571
[16] O turn H6437 unto me, and have mercy H2603 upon me;
Give H5414 thy strength H5797 unto thy servant, H5650 and save H3467 the son H1121 of thine handmaid. H519
[17] Shew H6213 me a token H226 for good; H2896 That they which hate H8130 me may see H7200 it, and be ashamed: H954
Because thou, Lord, H3068 hast holpen H5826 me, and comforted H5162 me.
