1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy. 2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee. 3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually. 4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule. 5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee. 6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me. 8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes. 9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name. 10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone. 11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name. 12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer. 13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. 14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them. 15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth. 16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd. 17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
