1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
1LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
3You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
4Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
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.
6Won’t you 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 kindness, LORD. 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 hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again 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 those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
10Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
11Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
12Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. 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 goes before him, and prepares 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.
