1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, || Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy. 2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, || Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God. 3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day. 4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, || For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, || And abundant in kindness to all calling You. 6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, || And attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In a day of my distress I call You, || For You answer me. 8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, || And like Your works there are none. 9 All nations that You have made || Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, || And give honor to Your Name. 10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, || You [are] God alone. 11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, || I walk in Your truth, || My heart rejoices to fear Your Name. 12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, || And I honor Your Name for all time. 13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, || And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. 14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, || And a company of the terrible sought my soul, || And have not placed You before them, 15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, || Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. 16 Look to me, and favor me, || Give Your strength to Your servant, || And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid. 17 Do with me a sign for good, || And those hating me see and are ashamed, || For You, O YHWH, have helped me, || Indeed, You have comforted me!
