| 1 Listen, O Lord, and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy. | |
| 2 Preserve my life for I am God-fearing; save your servant who trusts in you. | |
| 3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry to you all day. | |
| 4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. | |
| 5 You are good and forgiving, O Lord, caring for those who call on you. | |
| 6 Listen, O Lord, to my prayer, hear the voice of my pleading. | |
| 7 I call on you in the time of my trouble for you will answer me. | |
| 8 None is like you among the gods, your works are beyond compare. | |
| 9 All the nations you have made will come; they will worship before you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name. | |
| 10 For you are great, and wonderful are your deeds; you alone are God. | |
| 11 Teach me, O Lord, how to walk in your truth, that my heart may fear your name. | |
| 12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God; I will glorify your name forever, | |
| 13 for great has been your love for me, you have saved me from the grave. | |
| 14 O God, the insolent are against me; a band of cut-throats, evildoers who do not hold you in reverence. | |
| 15 But you, O Lord God, are merciful, slow to anger, loving and faithful. | |
| 16 Turn to me, take pity on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the child of your handmaid. | |
| 17 Give me a sign of your grace, that my foes may see to their disgrace, that you, O Lord, are my help and comfort. | |
