1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

1 תְּפִלָּ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד הַטֵּֽה־יְהוָ֣ה אָזְנְךָ֣ עֲנֵ֑נִי כִּֽי־עָנִ֖י וְאֶבְיֹ֣ון אָֽנִי׃

2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

2 שָֽׁמְרָ֣ה נַפְשִׁי֮ כִּֽי־חָסִ֪יד אָ֥נִי הֹושַׁ֣ע עַ֭בְדְּךָ אַתָּ֣ה אֱלֹהַ֑י הַבֹּוטֵ֥חַ אֵלֶֽיךָ׃

3 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily.

3 חָנֵּ֥נִי אֲדֹנָ֑י כִּ֥י אֵלֶ֥יךָ אֶ֝קְרָ֗א כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

4 מֵּחַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י אֵלֶ֥יךָ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י נַפְשִׁ֥י אֶשָּֽׂא׃

5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי טֹ֣וב וְסַלָּ֑ח וְרַב־חֶ֝֗סֶד לְכָל־קֹרְאֶֽיךָ׃

6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

6 הַאֲזִ֣ינָה יְ֭הוָה תְּפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝הַקְשִׁ֗יבָה בְּקֹ֣ול תַּחֲנוּנֹותָֽי׃

7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

7 בְּיֹ֣ום צָ֭רָתִ֥י אֶקְרָאֶ֗ךָּ כִּ֣י תַעֲנֵֽנִי׃

8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like thy works.

8 אֵין־כָּמֹ֖וךָ בָאֱלֹהִ֥ים׀ אֲדֹנָ֗י וְאֵ֣ין כְּֽמַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ׃

9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

9 כָּל־גֹּויִ֤ם׀ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֗יתָ יָבֹ֤ואוּ׀ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְפָנֶ֣יךָ אֲדֹנָ֑י וִֽיכַבְּד֣וּ לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

10 כִּֽי־גָדֹ֣ול אַ֭תָּה וְעֹשֵׂ֣ה נִפְלָאֹ֑ות אַתָּ֖ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

11 הֹ֘ורֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה׀ דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ אֲהַלֵּ֥ךְ בַּאֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ יַחֵ֥ד לְ֝בָבִ֗י לְיִרְאָ֥ה שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

12 אֹודְךָ֤׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּכָל־לְבָבִ֑י וַאֲכַבְּדָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעֹולָֽם׃

13 For great is thy mercy towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

13 כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ גָּדֹ֣ול עָלָ֑י וְהִצַּ֥לְתָּ נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י מִשְּׁאֹ֥ול תַּחְתִּיָּֽה׃

14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

14 אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ זֵ֘דִ֤ים קָֽמוּ־עָלַ֗י וַעֲדַ֣ת עָ֭רִיצִים בִּקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א שָׂמ֣וּךָ לְנֶגְדָּֽם׃

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.

15 וְאַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי אֵל־רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת׃

16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

16 פְּנֵ֥ה אֵלַ֗י וְחָ֫נֵּ֥נִי תְּנָֽה־עֻזְּךָ֥ לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝הֹושִׁ֗יעָה לְבֶן־אֲמָתֶֽךָ׃

17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

17 עֲשֵֽׂה־עִמִּ֥י אֹ֗ות לְטֹ֫ובָ֥ה וְיִרְא֣וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י וְיֵבֹ֑שׁוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה עֲזַרְתַּ֥נִי וְנִחַמְתָּֽנִי׃
