1INCLINE thine ear, O LORD; hear me, for I am poor and needy. 2Preserve my soul, for thou art holy; O thou God, save thy servant who trusts in thee. 3Be merciful to me, O LORD; for I cry unto thee daily. 4Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 5For thou, O LORD, art good; and thy lovingkindness is abundant to all who call upon thee. 6Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7In the day of my trouble I have called upon thee, and thou hast answered me. 8There is none like thee, O LORD my God; neither are there any works like thy works. 9All the nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD, and shall glorify thy name. 10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone. 11Show me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in the truth; my heart will rejoice with them that worship thy name. 12I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of hell. 14O God, the wicked are risen against me, and the assembly of violent men has sought after my soul; and they have not been mindful of thee. 15But thou, O LORD God, art full of compassion and gracious, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16O turn to me and have mercy upon me; give strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid. 17Show me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast helped me and comforted me.
