1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
1You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
2You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
3You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
4Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
6Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
7Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
8I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
9Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
10Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
11Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
12The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
13Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
14O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
