1 Turn your ear, O LORD, answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my soul, for I am godly; you are my God; save your servant, who trusts in you.
3 Show me favor, O Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Make your servant's soul rejoice, for to you, O Lord, I raise my soul.
5 For you, Lord, are good and forgiving, rich in steadfast love toward all who call upon you.
6 Listen, O LORD, to my prayer, and pay heed to the sound of my pleading.
7 On the day of my distress I will call to you, for you answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord, nor any deeds like yours.
9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord, and will give glory to your name.
10 For you are great and you do marvels; you are God, you alone.
11 Show me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth; make my heart one to fear your name.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and give glory to your name forever.
13 For your steadfast love toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, a gang of violent men seeks my soul, and they have not put you before them.
15 But you, Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and rich in steadfast love and truth.
16 Turn toward me and show me favor; give your strength to your servant and save the son of your handmaid.
17 Work for me a sign of goodness, that those who hate me may see and be ashamed, because you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
