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.

1 Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.3 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to you daily.4 Rejoice the soul of your servant: for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you.6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you: for you will answer me.8 Among the gods there is none like to you, O Lord; neither are there any works like to your works.9 All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.10 For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.11 Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have 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 you before them.15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.16 O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
