| 1A Prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. | 1LORD, listen and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy. |
| 2Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You. | 2Protect me, for I am faithful; My God, deliver your servant who trusts in you. |
| 3Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I cry all day long. | 3Have mercy on me Lord, for I call on you all day long. |
| 4Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. | 4Your servant rejoices, because, Lord, I set my hope on you. |
| 5For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. | 5Indeed you, Lord, are kind and forgiving, overflowing with gracious love to everyone who calls on you. |
| 6Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And give heed to the voice of my supplications! | 6Hear my prayer, LORD; attend to my prayer of supplication. |
| 7In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me. | 7In my troubled times I will call on you, for you will answer me. |
| 8There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. | 8No one can compare with you among the gods, Lord; No one can accomplish your work. |
| 9All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. | 9All the nations that you have established will come and worship you, my Lord. They will honor your name. |
| 10For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. | 10For you are great, and you are doing awesome things; you alone are God. |
| 11Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. | 11Teach me your ways, LORD, that I may walk in your truth; let me wholeheartedly revere your name. |
| 12I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. | 12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole being; and I will honor your name continuously. |
| 13For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. | 13For great is your gracious love to me; you've delivered me from the depths of Sheol. |
| 14O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. | 14God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you. |
| 15But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. | 15But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness. |
| 16Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your handmaid. | 16Return to me and have mercy on me; clothe your servant with your strength and deliver the son of your maid servant. |
| 17Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. | 17Show me a sign of your goodness, so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed. For you, LORD, will help and comfort me. |
