1Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

2Keep my soul, for I am ³⁵⁶godly; O thou my ³⁵⁷God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

3Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

4Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

8Among the ³⁵⁸gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art ³⁵⁹God, thou alone.

11Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my ³⁶⁰God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

14O ³⁶¹God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

15But thou, Lord, art a ³⁶²God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

16Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
