1.    {A Prayer by David.} Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.     A Prayer. Of David.
Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
    Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
 
2.    Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.     Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.     Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
 
3.    Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.     Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.     Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
 
4.    Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.     Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.     Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
 
5.    For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.     You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.     For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
 
6.    Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.     O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.     Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
 
7.    In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.     In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.     In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
 
8.    There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.     There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.     Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
 
9.    All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.     Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.     All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
 
10.    For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.     For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.     For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
 
11.    Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.     Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.     Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
 
12.    I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.     I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.     I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
 
13.    For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.}.     For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld.     For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
 
14.    God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don't hold regard for you before them.     O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.     O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
 
15.    But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.     But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.     But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
 
16.    Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.     O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.     O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
 
17.    Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.     Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.     Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
