A Prayer of David.Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;For I am poor and needy.
Preserve my soul; for I am godly:O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord;For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant;For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;For thou wilt answer me.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;And they shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:Thou art God alone.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;I will walk in thy truth:Unite my heart to fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
O God, the proud are risen up against me,And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,And have not set thee before them.
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
Oh turn unto me, and {Or, be gracious unto}have mercy upon me;Give thy strength unto thy servant,And save the son of thy handmaid.
Show me a token for good,That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
A Psalm of David.I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple,And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
In the day that I called thou answeredst me,Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah,For they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;For great is the glory of Jehovah.
For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly;But the haughty he knoweth from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me;Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,And thy right hand will save me.
Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.
And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
Now these are the last words of David.David the son of Jesse saith,And the man who was raised on high saith,The anointed of the God of Jacob,And {Hebrew: pleasant in the psalms of Israel.}the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Now these are the last words of David.David the son of Jesse saith,And the man who was raised on high saith,The anointed of the God of Jacob,And {Hebrew: pleasant in the psalms of Israel.}the sweet psalmist of Israel:
The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spake to me: {Or, There shall be one…and it shall be as &c.}One that ruleth over men {Hebrew: a righteous one.}righteously,That ruleth in the fear of God,
He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,A morning without clouds,When the tender grass springeth out of the earth,Through clear shining after rain.
{Or, For is not my house so with God? for he…for all my salvation, and all my desire, will he not make it to grow?}Verily my house is not so with God;Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,Ordered in all things, and sure:For it is all my salvation, and all my desire,Although he maketh it not to grow.
