1 O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear,and hear me graciously;Because I sore afflicted am,and am in poverty.
2 Because I'm holy, let my soulby thee preserved be:O thou my God, thy servant save,that puts his trust in thee.
3 Sith unto thee I daily cry,be merciful to me.
4 Rejoice thy servant's soul; for, Lord,I lift my soul to thee.
5 For thou art gracious, O Lord,and ready to forgive;And rich in mercy, all that callupon thee to relieve.
6 Hear, Lord, my pray'r; unto the voiceof my request attend:
7 In troublous times I'll call on thee;for thou wilt answer send.
8 Lord, there is none among the godsthat may with thee compare;And like the works which thou hast done,not any work is there.
9 All nations whom thou mad'st shall comeand worship rev'rentlyBefore thy face; and they, O Lord,thy name shall glorify.
10 Because thou art exceeding great,and works by thee are doneWhich are to be admir'd; and thouart God thyself alone.
11 Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,O Lord, then walk will I;Unite my heart, that I thy namemay fear continually.
12 O Lord my God, with all my heartto thee I will give praise;And I the glory will ascribeunto thy name always:
13 Because thy mercy toward mein greatness doth excel;And thou deliver'd hast my soulout from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud against me rise,and vi'lent men have met,That for my soul have sought; and theebefore them have not set.
15 But thou art full of pity, Lord,a God most gracious,Long-suffering, and in thy truthand mercy plenteous.
16 O turn to me thy countenance,and mercy on me have;Thy servant strengthen, and the sonof thine own handmaid save.
17 Shew me a sign for good, that theywhich do me hate may see,And be asham'd; because thou, Lord,didst help and comfort me.
