Tried But Trusting

¹ A Prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.² Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.³ Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.⁴ Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.⁵ For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.⁶ Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.⁷ In the day of my distress I will call on You, for You will answer me.

⁸ O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.⁹ All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.¹⁰ For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.¹¹ Teach me Your way, O LORD, and I will walk in Your truth. Grant me undividedness of heart so that I may fear Your name.¹² I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.¹³ For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.¹⁴ The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.¹⁵ But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.¹⁶ Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.¹⁷ Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
