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.

For unto thee, O Lord, H136 do I lift up H5375 (QalImpf) my soul. H5315
[5] For thou, Lord, H136 art good, H2896 and ready to forgive; H5546

[7] In the day H3117 of my trouble H6869 I will call H7121 (QalImpf) upon thee:

[15] But thou, O Lord, H136 art a God H410 full of compassion, H7349 and gracious, H2587
Longsuffering, H750 and plenteous H7227 in mercy H2617 and truth. H571

Because thou, Lord, H3068 hast holpen H5826 (QalPerf) me, and comforted H5162 (PielPerf) me.
