King James BibleNET Bible
1A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.1A prayer of David. Listen O LORD! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.2Protect me, for I am loyal! O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you!
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.4Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray!
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.5Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.6O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for mercy!
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.7In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.8None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable!
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.9All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.10For you are great and do amazing things. You alone are God.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.11O LORD, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you!
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.12O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually!
13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.13For you will extend your great loyal love to me, and will deliver my life from the depths of Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.14O God, arrogant men attack me; a gang of ruthless men, who do not respect you, seek my life.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.15But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.16Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver your slave!
17Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.17Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O LORD, will help me and comfort me.
