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.
5. For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6. Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7. In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8. There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
