Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. 1
Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. 2
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. 3
Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 4
You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you. 5
Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. 6
In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. 7
Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. 8
All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. 9
For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. 10
Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. 11
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. 12
For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. 13
The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, men without regard for you. 14
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. 15
Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant. 16
Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. 17
