1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
