A Prayer of David.

1 Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me;
For I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my1 life, for I am holy;
You are my God;
Save Your servant who trusts in You! 
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,
For I cry to You all day long.
4 1Rejoice the soul of Your servant,
aFor to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 
5 For aYou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. 
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.
8 aAmong the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works. 
9 All nations whom You have made
Shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And shall glorify Your name.
