Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me;

For I am poor and needy.

2Keep my soul, for I am godly;

O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

3Be gracious unto me, O Lord;

For unto Thee do I cry all the day.

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 pardon,

And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;

And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

7In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee;

For Thou wilt answer me.

8There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord,

And there are no works like Thine.

9All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord;

And they shall glorify Thy name.

10For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things;

Thou art God alone.

11Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth;

Make one my heart to fear Thy name.

12I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

And I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

13For great is Thy mercy toward me;

And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world.

14O God, the proud are risen up against me,

And the company of violent men have sought after my soul,

And have not set Thee before them.

15But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious,

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me;

Give Thy strength unto Thy servant,

And save the son of Thy handmaid.

17Work in my behalf a sign for good;

That they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame,

Because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
