2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; For unto Thee do I cry all the day. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day. have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; For unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

8 There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, And there are no works like Thine. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.

11 Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; Make one my heart to fear Thy name. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
12 I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify Thy name for evermore. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.

14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, And the company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set Thee before them. O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you.
15 But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth. But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; Give Thy strength unto Thy servant, And save the son of Thy handmaid. Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
17 Work in my behalf a sign for good; That they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me. Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me. Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
