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.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord, neither is there any other who does thy works.
