The Holy Bible

1Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee daily. 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.   5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer;
and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
for thou wilt answer me.   8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither are there any works like unto thy works. 9 All nations whom thou hast made
shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
thou art God alone.   11 Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13 For great is thy mercy toward me:
and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.   14 O 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. 15 But thou, O Lord,
art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 17 Shew 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.
