1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am merciful, O thou my God, save thy slave that trusts in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord, for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy slave, for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy unto all those that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications.
