A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy. |
2
|
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant—who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God. |
3
|
Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day. |
4
|
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up. |
5
|
For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee. |
6
|
Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications. |
7
|
In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me. |
8
|
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none. |
9
|
All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name. |
10
|
For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone. |
11
|
Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name. |
12
|
I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age. |
13
|
For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. |
14
|
O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them, |
15
|
And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. |
16
|
Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid. |
17
|
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me! |
