A Prayer of David.
Bow down
thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and
needy.
02 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my
God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
03 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto
thee daily.
04 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto
thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
05 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to
forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them
that call upon thee.
06 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend
to the voice of my supplications.
07 In the day of my trouble I will call upon
thee: for thou wilt answer me.
08 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O
Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy
works.
09 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.
