Prayer
of
David.
Bow
down
thine
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
unto
me,
O
Lord:
for
I
cry
unto
thee
daily.
4
Rejoice
the
soul
of
thy
servant:
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
them
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
8
Among
the
gods
[there
is]
none
like
unto
thee,
O
Lord;
neither
[are
there
any
works]
like
unto
thy
works.
9
All
nations
whom
thou
hast
made
shall
come
and
worship
before
thee,
O
Lord;
and
shall
glorify
thy
name.
10
For
thou
[art]
great,
and
doest
wondrous
things:
thou
[art]
God
alone.
11
Teach
me
thy
way,
O
LORD;
I
will
walk
in
thy
truth:
unite
my
heart
to
fear
thy
name.
12
I
will
praise
thee,
O
Lord
my
God,
with
all
my
heart:
and
I
will
glorify
thy
name
for
evermore.
13
For
great
[is]
thy
mercy
toward
me:
and
thou
hast
delivered
my
soul
from
the
lowest
hell.
14
O
God,
the
proud
are
risen
against
me,
and
the
assemblies
of
violent
[men]
have
sought
after
my
soul;
and
have
not
set
thee
before
them.
15
But
thou,
O
Lord,
[art]
a
God
full
of
compassion,
and
gracious,
longsuffering,
and
plenteous
in
mercy
and
truth.
16
O
turn
unto
me,
and
have
mercy
upon
me;
give
thy
strength
unto
thy
servant,
and
save
the
son
of
thine
handmaid.
17
Shew
me
a
token
for
good;
that
they
which
hate
me
may
see
[it],
and
be
ashamed:
because
thou,
LORD,
hast
holpen
me,
and
comforted
