A Prayer
of David.
Bow down
thine ear,
O LORD,
hear
me: for I am poor
and needy.
Preserve
my soul;
for I am holy:
O thou my God,
save
thy servant
that trusteth
in thee.
Be merciful
unto me, O Lord:
for I cry
unto thee daily.
Rejoice
the soul
of thy servant:
for unto thee, O Lord,
do I lift up
my soul.
For thou, Lord,
art good,
and ready to forgive;
and plenteous
in mercy
unto all them that call
upon thee.
Give ear,
O LORD,
unto my prayer;
and attend
to the voice
of my supplications.
In the day
of my trouble
I will call
upon thee: for thou wilt answer
me.
Among the gods
there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither are there any works like unto thy works.
All nations
whom thou hast made
shall come
and worship
before
thee, O Lord;
and shall glorify
thy name.
For thou art great,
and doest
wondrous things:
thou art God
alone.
Teach
me thy way,
O LORD;
I will walk
in thy truth:
unite
my heart
to fear
thy name.
I will praise
thee, O Lord
my God,
with all my heart:
and I will glorify
thy name
for evermore.
For great
is thy mercy
toward me: and thou hast delivered
my soul
from the lowest
hell.
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.

But thou, O Lord,
art a God
full of compassion,
and gracious,
longsuffering,
and plenteous
in mercy
and truth.
O turn
unto me, and have mercy
upon me; give
thy strength
unto thy servant,
and save
the son
of thine handmaid.
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.
