1 A praier to Dauid him selfe. Incline thine eare ô Lord, and heare me: because I am needie and poore.
2 Keepe my soule, because I am holie: saue thy seruant my God, that hopeth in thee.
3 Haue mercie on me ô Lord, because I haue cried to thee al the day:
4 make ioyful the soule of thy seruant, because to thee ô Lord haue I lifted vp my soule.
5 Because thou ô Lord art swete, and milde: and of much mercie to al that inuocate thee.
6 Receiue ô Lord my praier with thine ears: and attend to the voice of my petition.
7 In the day of my tribulation I haue called to thee: because thou hast heard me.
8 There is not the like to thee amongst goddes ô Lord: and there is not according to thy workes.
9 Al nations what soeuer thou hast made, shal come, and shal adore before thee ô Lord: and they shal glorifie thy name.
10 Because thou art great and doing meruelous thinges: thou onlie art God.
11 Conduct me ô Lord in thy way, and I wil walke in thy truth: let my hart reioyce that it may feare thy name.
12 I wil confesse to thee ô Lord my God with al my hart, and wil glorifie thy name for euer:
13 Because thy mercie is great vpon me: and thou hast deliuered my soule out of the lower hel.
14 O God the wicked are risen vp vpon me, and the synagogue of the mightie haue sought my soule: and they haue not set thee in their sight.
15 And thou ô Lord the God of compassion and merciful, patient, and of much mercie, and true.
16 Haue respect to me, and haue mercie on me, giue thine empire to thy seruant: and saue the sonne of thy handmaide.
17 Make with me a signe vnto God, that they may see which hate me, and may be confounded: because thou ô Lord hast holpen me.
