King James Version of the
Bible
1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant
that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift
up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in
mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt
answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are
there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before
thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul
from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of
violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before
them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto
thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and
be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.1
