¹ A prayer of Dauid. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.² Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.³ Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.⁴ Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.⁵ For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.⁶ Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, & hearken to the voyce of my supplication.⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lorde, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.⁹ All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, & shall glorifie thy Name.¹⁰ For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lorde, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.¹² I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.¹³ For great is thy mercie toward me, & thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue.¹⁴ O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.¹⁵ But thou, O Lorde, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.¹⁶ Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.¹⁷ Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
