Holman Christian Standard BibleNew International Version
1A Davidic prayer. Listen, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. 1A prayer of David. Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2Protect my life, for I am faithful. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You. 2Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;
3Be gracious to me, Lord, for I call to You all day long. 3have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4Bring joy to Your servant's life, because I turn to You, Lord. 4Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
5For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, rich in faithful love to all who call on You. 5You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 LORD, hear my prayer; listen to my plea for mercy. 6Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
7I call on You in the day of my distress, for You will answer me. 7When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.
8Lord, there is no one like You among the gods, and there are no works like Yours. 8Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
9All the nations You have made will come and bow down before You, Lord, and will honor Your name. 9All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
10For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God. 10For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.
11Teach me Your way, Yahweh, and I will live by Your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name. 11Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
12I will praise You with all my heart, Lord my God, and will honor Your name forever. 12I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
13For Your faithful love for me is great, and You deliver my life from the depths of Sheol. 13For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
14God, arrogant people have attacked me; a gang of ruthless men seeks my life. They have no regard for You. 14Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me-- they have no regard for you.
15But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth. 15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16Turn to me and be gracious to me. Give Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your female servant. 16Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
17Show me a sign of Your goodness; my enemies will see and be put to shame because You, LORD, have helped and comforted me. 17Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
