1A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
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 them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
8There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
