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