1 Inclina, Senhor, os ouvidos e responde-me,

pois estou aflito e necessitado.

2 Preserva a minha alma, pois eu sou piedoso;

tu, ó Deus meu, salva o teu servo que em ti confia.

3 Compadece-te de mim, ó Senhor, pois a ti clamo de contínuo.

4 Alegra a alma do teu servo,

porque a ti, Senhor, elevo a minha alma.

5 Pois tu, Senhor, és bom e compassivo;

abundante em benignidade para com todos os que te invocam.

6 Escuta, Senhor, a minha oração

e atende à voz das minhas súplicas.

7 No dia da minha angústia, clamo a ti,

porque me respondes.

8 Não há entre os deuses semelhante a ti, Senhor;

e nada existe que se compare às tuas obras.

9 Todas as nações que fizeste

virão, prostrar-se-ão diante de ti, Senhor,

e glorificarão o teu nome.

10 Pois tu és grande e operas maravilhas;

só tu és Deus!

11 Ensina-me, Senhor, o teu caminho,

e andarei na tua verdade;

dispõe-me o coração para só temer o teu nome.

12 Dar-te-ei graças, Senhor, Deus meu, de todo o coração,

e glorificarei para sempre o teu nome.

13 Pois grande é a tua misericórdia para comigo,

e me livraste a alma do mais profundo poder da morte.

14 Ó Deus, os soberbos se têm levantado contra mim,

e um bando de violentos atenta contra a minha vida;

eles não te consideram.

15 Mas tu, Senhor, és Deus compassivo e cheio de graça,

paciente e grande em misericórdia e em verdade.

16 Volta-te para mim e compadece-te de mim;

concede a tua força ao teu servo

e salva o filho da tua serva.

17 Mostra-me um sinal do teu favor,

para que o vejam e se envergonhem os que me aborrecem;

pois tu, Senhor, me ajudas e me consolas.

1 Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;

For I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly:

O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord;

For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant;

For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;

And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;

For thou wilt answer me.

8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;

Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;

And they shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:

Thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:

Unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

And I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;

And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

14 O God, the proud are risen up against me,

And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,

And have not set thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

16 Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;

Give thy strength unto thy servant,

And save the son of thy handmaid.

17 Show me a token for good,

That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,

Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.

1 Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;

3 have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

4 Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.

5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

6 Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.

7 When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.

9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.

10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

11 Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.

13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.

14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me — they have no regard for you.

15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

16 Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.

17 Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
