1<> Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me, for I [am] poor and needy. 2Preserve my soul; for I [am] merciful, O thou my God, save thy servant that trusts in thee. 3Be merciful unto me, O Lord, for I cry unto thee daily. 4Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5For thou, Lord, [art] good and ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy unto all those that call upon thee. 6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me. 8Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord, neither is there any other who does thy works. 9All the Gentiles whom thou hast made shall come and humble themselves before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 10For thou [art] great and doest wondrous things; thou alone [art] God. 11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth; firm up my heart that I might fear thy name. 12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13For great [is] thy mercy upon me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest [part of] Sheol. 14O 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. 15But thou, O Lord, [art] a merciful and gracious God, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16O look into me and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant and keep the son of thine handmaid. 17Show me a token for good that those who hate me may see [it] and be ashamed because thou, O LORD, hast helped me and comforted me.:
