⁰A prayer of David.

¹Yahweh, stretch out your ear, answer me, for I am poor and needy.

²Keep my being, for I am faithful; save your slave, you who are my God, who trusts in you.

³Show me favor, O Lord, for to you I call out all the day.

⁴Make glad the being of your slave, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my being.

⁵For you, O Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and great of loyal love to all who call out to you.

⁶Yahweh, give ear to my prayer, and heed the sound of my pleas.

⁷In the day of my distress I will call out to you, for you will answer me.

⁸There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and nothing like your works.

⁹All the nations you made will come and bow down before your face, O Lord, and they will honor your name.

¹⁰For you are great and one who does wonders; you alone are God.

¹¹Teach me your way, Yahweh; I will walk in your reliability. Unite my heart to fear your name.

¹²I will give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will honor your name forever.

¹³For your loyal love is great toward me, and you have delivered my being from Sheol below.

¹⁴O God, the arrogant have risen up against me, and an assembly of the ruthless have sought my being, and they have not set you before them.

¹⁵But you, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious, slow of anger and great of loyal love and reliability.

¹⁶Turn to me and show favor to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant.

¹⁷Make a sign with me for good, so that those who hate me may see and be ashamed, for you, Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
