A prayer of David.
1
Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; 3 have mercy on me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4
Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
for I put my trust in you.
5
You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6
Hear my prayer, Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7
When I am in distress, I call to you,
because you answer me.
8
Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10
For you are great and do marvellous deeds;
you alone are God.
11
Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name for ever.
13
For great is your love towards me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.
14
Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
ruthless people are trying to kill me –
they have no regard for you.
15
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16
Turn to me and have mercy on me;
show your strength on behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
just as my mother did.
17
Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
