1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
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 plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, 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 shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
1 'n Gebed van Dawid. HERE, neig u oor, verhoor my, want ek is ellendig en behoeftig.
2 Bewaar my siel, want 'n gunsgenoot is ek; U, my God, verlos u kneg wat op U vertrou.
3 Wees my genadig, o Here, want ek roep U aan die hele dag deur.
4 Verbly die siel van u kneg, want tot U, o Here, hef ek my siel op.
5 Want U, o Here, is goed en vergewensgesind en groot van goedertierenheid vir almal wat U aanroep.
6 HERE, luister na my gebed en let op die stem van my smekinge.
7 In die dag van my benoudheid roep ek U aan, want U verhoor my.
8 Daar is niemand soos U onder die gode, Here, en daar is niks soos u werke nie.
9 Al die nasies wat U gemaak het, sal kom en hulle voor u aangesig neerbuig, Here, en hulle sal u Naam eer;
10 want U is groot en doen wonders, U alleen is God.
11 Leer my, HERE, u weg: ek sal in u waarheid wandel; verenig my hart tot die vrees van u Naam.
12 Here, my God, ek wil U loof met my hele hart en u Naam vir ewig eer;
13 want u goedertierenheid is groot oor my, en U het my siel uit die doderyk diep daaronder gered.
14 o God, vermeteles het teen my opgestaan, en 'n bende tiranne soek my lewe; en hulle stel U nie voor hul oë nie.
15 Maar U, Here, is 'n barmhartige en genadige God, lankmoedig en groot van goedertierenheid en trou.
16 Wend U tot my en wees my genadig; gee u sterkte aan u kneg en verlos die seun van u diensmaagd.
17 Doen aan my 'n teken ten goede, sodat my haters dit sien en beskaamd kan staan, omdat U, o HERE, my gehelp en getroos het.
