A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.
A Prayer of David.
For I am BPs 40:17; 70:5afflicted and needy.
O You my God, save Your servant who CPs 25:2; 31:14; 56:4trusts in You.
3 Be APs 4:1; 57:1gracious to me, O Lord,
For BPs 25:5; 88:9to You I cry all day long.
4 Make glad the soul of Your servant,
For to You, O Lord, APs 25:1; 143:8I lift up my soul.
And CEx 34:6; Neh 9:17; Ps 103:8; 145:8; Joel 2:13; Jon 4:2abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
6 APs 55:1Give ear, O Loʀᴅ, to my prayer;
And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
7 In APs 50:15; 77:2the day of my trouble I shall call upon You,
For BPs 17:6You will answer me.
8 There is AEx 15:11; 2 Sam 7:22; 1 Kin 8:23; Ps 89:6; Jer 10:6no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works BDeut 3:24like Yours.
9 APs 22:27; 66:4; Is 66:23; Rev 15:4All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
You alone CDeut 6:4; 32:39; Ps 83:18; Is 37:16; 44:6, 8; Mark 12:29; 1 Cor 8:4are God.
11 APs 25:5Teach me Your way, O Loʀᴅ;
I will walk in Your truth;
BJer 32:39Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12 I will APs 111:1give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
13 For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have APs 30:3delivered my soul from the 1Lit lowest Sheoldepths of 2I.e. the nether worldSheol.
14 O God, arrogant men have APs 54:3risen up against me,
And 1Or an assemblya band of violent men have sought my 2Lit soullife,
And they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God APs 86:5merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and 1Or faithfulnesstruth.
16 APs 25:16Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh BPs 68:35grant Your strength to Your servant,
And save the CPs 116:16son of Your handmaid.
17 AJudg 6:17; Ps 119:122Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may BPs 112:10see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Loʀᴅ, CPs 118:13have helped me and comforted me.
