1
A Prayer of David. Incline thy ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2
Preserve my life, for I am godly; save thy servant who trusts in thee. Thou art my God;
3
be gracious to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day.
4
Gladden the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.
6
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; hearken to my cry of supplication.
7
In the day of my trouble I call on thee, for thou dost answer me.
8
There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like thine.
9
All the nations thou hast made shall come and bow down before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
10
For thou art great and doest wondrous things, thou alone art God.
11
Teach me thy way, O LORD, that I may walk in thy truth; unite my heart to fear thy name.
