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.
