1A prayer <08605> of David <01732>. Listen <0241> <05186> O Lord <03068>! Answer <06030> me! For <03588> I <0589> am oppressed <06041> and needy <034>.
2Protect <08104> me <05315>, for <03588> I <0589> am loyal <02623>! O my God <0430>, deliver <03467> your servant <05650>, who trusts <0982> in <0413> you!
3Have mercy <02603> on me, O Lord <0136>, for <03588> I cry <07121> out to <0413> you all <03605> day <03117> long!
4Make <08055> your servant <05650> glad <08055>, for <03588> to <0413> you, O Lord <0136>, I pray <05375>!
5Certainly <03588> O Lord <0136>, you <0859> are kind <02896> and forgiving <05546>, and show great <07227> faithfulness <02617> to all <03605> who cry out <07121> to you.
6O Lord <03068>, hear <0238> my prayer <08605>! Pay attention <07181> to my plea <06963> for mercy <08469>!
7In my time <03117> of trouble <06869> I cry out <07121> to you, for <03588> you will answer <06030> me.
8None <0369> can compare <03644> to you among the gods <0430>, O Lord <0136>! Your exploits <04639> are incomparable <0369>!
9All <03605> the nations <01471>, whom <0834> you created <06213>, will come <0935> and worship <07812> you <06440>, O Lord <0136>. They will honor <03513> your name <08034>.
10For <03588> you <0859> are great <01419> and do <06213> amazing things <06381>. You <0859> alone <0905> are God <0430>.
11O Lord <03068>, teach <03384> me how <01870> you want me to live <01980>! Then I will obey <03161> your commands <0571>. Make me wholeheartedly <03824> committed <08034> <03372> to you!
12O Lord <0136>, my God <0430>, I will give you thanks <03034> with my whole <03605> heart <03824>! I will honor <03513> your name <08034> continually <05769>!
13For <03588> you will extend your great <01419> loyal love <02617> to <05921> me, and will deliver <05337> my life <05315> from the depths <08482> of Sheol <07585>.
14O God <0430>, arrogant men <02086> attack <05921> <06965> me; a gang <05712> of ruthless <06184> men, who do not <03808> respect <07760> you, seek <01245> my life <05315>.
15But you <0859>, O Lord <0136>, are a compassionate <07349> and merciful <02587> God <0410>. You are patient <0750> and demonstrate great <07227> loyal love <02617> and faithfulness <0571>.
16Turn <06437> toward <0413> me and have mercy <02603> on me! Give <05414> your servant <05650> your strength <05797>! Deliver <03467> your slave <0519> <01121>!
17Show <06213> me evidence <0226> of your favor <02896>! Then those who hate <08130> me will see <07200> it and be ashamed <0954>, for <03588> you <0859>, O Lord <03068>, will help <05826> me and comfort <05162> me.
