¹A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy.

¹Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

²Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.

²Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

³Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.

³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

⁴Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

⁵For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

⁵Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

⁶Give ear to my prayer, O Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.

⁶Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

⁷In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.

⁷Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.

⁸There is none like to thee, O Lord , among the gods; and there are no [works] like to thy works.

⁸I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

⁹All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

⁹Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only [and] the great God.

¹⁰Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.

¹¹Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.

¹²Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

¹³For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

¹³Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
