The Psalter on www.CommonPrayer.org (original) (raw)

BOW down thine ear, O LORD, and hear me; * for I am poor, and in misery.

Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy: * my God, save thy servant that putteth his trust in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; * for I will call daily upon thee.

Comfort the soul of thy servant; * for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good and gracious, * and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, LORD, unto my prayer, * and ponder the voice of my humble desires.

In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee; * for thou hearest me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; * there is not one that can do as thou doest.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee, O Lord; * and shall glorify thy Name.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: * thou art God alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and I will walk in thy truth: * O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name.

I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; * and will praise thy Name for evermore.

For great is thy mercy toward me; * and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.

O God, the proud are risen against me; * and the congregations of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before their eyes.

But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy, * long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me; * give thy strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid.

Show some token upon me for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed, * because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
