1 Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me,for I am oppressed and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly;You are my God; save Your servantwho trusts in You.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord,for to You I cry all day long.
4 Gladden the soul of Your servant,for to You, O Lord,I lift my soul.
5 For You, Lord, are good, and forgiving,abounding in kindness to all who call on You.
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer,and attend to my plea for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,for You will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like You, OLord;neither are there any works like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have madeshall come and worship before You, O Lord,and shall glorify Your name.
10 For You are great and do wondrous deeds;You are God alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,that I will walk in Your truth;bind my heartto fear Your name.
12 I will give You thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart,and I will glorify Your name forever.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me,and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, insolent men have risen against me,and bands of violent men have sought my life;they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious,slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;give Your strength to Your servant,and save the humble son of Your female servant.
17 Show me a sign of Your favor,that those who hate me may see it and be ashamedbecause You, Lord, have helped and comforted me.
