Great Is Your Steadfast Love
[Ps. 72:20]A Prayer of David.
1 See Ps. 31:2Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am Ps. 40:17poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am See Ps. 50:5godly;
save your servant, who See Ps. 11:1trusts in you—you are my God.
3 ver. 16;Ps. 56:1;57:1;See Ps. 4:1Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
for See Ps. 25:1to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, O Lord, are good and Ps. 130:4forgiving,
ver. 15;Ps. 103:8;145:8,9;Ex. 34:6;Joel 2:13abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 Ps. 55:1,2Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.
7 In See Ps. 77:2the day of my trouble I call upon you,
Ps. 17:6for you answer me.
8 There is [Ps. 89:6;Ex. 15:11] none like you among the gods, O Lord,
Deut. 3:24nor are there any works like yours.
9 Ps. 66:4;[Ps. 22:31;65:2;Isa. 66:23;Zech. 14:18;Rev. 15:4]All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For Ps. 77:13you are great and See Ps. 72:18do wondrous things;
Deut. 6:4;Isa. 37:16;44:6,8;1 Cor. 8:4,6you alone are God.
11 See Ps. 25:4Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may Ps. 26:3walk in your truth;
[Jer. 32:39]unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 [ver. 5] For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have Ps. 30:3;[Ps. 88:6;Ezek. 26:20]delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, insolent men have Ps. 54:3risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God ver. 5;Ps. 111:4;112:4;Num. 14:18;Neh. 9:17;Jonah 4:2;See Ps. 62:12merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 See Ps. 25:16Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to See Ps. 116:16your servant,
and save See Ps. 116:16the son of your maidservant.
17 [Judg. 6:17] Show me a sign of your Neh. 5:19;13:31favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
