|
|
1 |
Hear, O LORD, and
answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
|
|
|
2 |
Guard my life, for I
am devoted to you.
You are my God; save your servant
who trusts in you.
|
|
3 |
Have mercy on me, O
Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
|
|
4 |
Bring joy to your
servant,
for to you, O Lord,
I lift up my soul.
|
|
5 |
You are forgiving
and good, O Lord,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
|
|
6 |
Hear my prayer, O
LORD;
listen to my cry for mercy.
|
|
7 |
In the day of my
trouble I will call to you,
for you will answer me.
|
|
8 |
Among the gods there
is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
|
|
9 |
All the nations you
have made
will come and worship before you, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
|
|
10 |
For you are great
and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
|
|
11 |
Teach me your way, O
LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
|
|
12 |
I will praise you, O
Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
|
|
13 |
For great is your
love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
|
|
14 |
The arrogant are
attacking me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life —
men without regard for you.
|
|
15 |
But you, O Lord, are
a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
|
|
16 |
Turn to me and have
mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant
and save the son of your maidservant.
|
|
17 |
Give me a sign of
your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
