1.
A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
|
|
2.
Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.
|
|
3.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long.
|
|
4.
Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
|
|
5.
You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.
|
|
6.
Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
|
|
7.
In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.
|
|
8.
Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
|
|
9.
All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O 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, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
|
|
12.
I will praise you, O 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 of the grave.
|
|
14.
The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life--men without regard for you.
|
|
15.
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
|
|
16.
Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant.
|
|
17.
Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
