1. Bow down thine ear, O Lord,
1. hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2. Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
2. O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3. Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
3. for I cry unto thee daily.
4. Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
4. for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
5. and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;
6. and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
7. for thou wilt answer me.
8. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
8. neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9. All nations whom thou hast made
9. shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
9. and shall glorify thy name.
10. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
10. thou art God alone.
11. Teach me thy way, O Lord;
11. I will walk in thy truth:
11. unite my heart to fear thy name.
12. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
12. and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13. For great is thy mercy toward me:
13. and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14. O God, the proud are risen against me,
14. and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul;
14. and have not set thee before them.
15. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
15. long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
16. give thy strength unto thy servant,
16. and save the son of thine handmaid.
17. Show me a token for good;
17. that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
17. because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
