Dual Panel1INCLINE YOUR ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor {and} distressed, needy {and} desiring.
2Preserve my life, for I am godly {and} dedicated; O my God, save Your servant, for I trust in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, without fear or doubt].
3Be merciful {and} gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day.
4Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord, for to You do I lift myself up.
5For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy {and} loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.
6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the cry of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call on You, for You will answer me.
8There is none like unto You among the gods, O Lord, neither are their works like unto Yours.
9All nations whom You have made shall come and fall down before You, O Lord; and they shall glorify Your name.
10For You are great and work wonders! You alone are God.
11Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk {and} live in Your truth; direct {and} unite my heart [solely, reverently] to fear {and} honor Your name.
12I will confess {and} praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole (united) heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.
13For great is Your mercy {and} loving-kindness toward me; and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol [from the exceeding depths of affliction].
14O God, the proud {and} insolent are risen against me; a rabble of violent {and} ruthless men has sought {and} demanded my life, and they have not set You before them.
15But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy {and} loving-kindness and truth.
16O turn to me and have mercy {and} be gracious to me; grant strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden.
17Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill {and} favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me.
