1. A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2. Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3. O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4. Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
