1 Hear, LORD, and answer me,

2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly.

3 Be merciful to me, Lord,

4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant,

5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

6 Hear, LORD, my prayer.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you,

8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,

9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.

10 For you are great, and do wondrous things.

11 Teach me your way, LORD.

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.

13 For your loving kindness is great toward me.

14 God, the proud have risen up against me.

15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me!

17 Show me a sign of your goodness,
