A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.
2שָֽׁמְרָ֣ה נַפְשִׁי֮ כִּֽי־חָסִ֪יד אָ֥נִי הוֹשַׁ֣ע עַ֭בְדְּךָ אַתָּ֣ה אֱלֹהַ֑י הַבּוֹטֵ֥חַ אֵלֶֽיךָ׃

In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; For Thou wilt answer me.
8אֵין־כָּמ֖וֹךָ בָאֱלֹהִ֥ים ׀ אֲדֹנָ֗י וְאֵ֣ין כְּֽמַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ׃
en-kamokha va'elohim adonay ve'en kema'asekha
There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, And there are no works like Thine.
9כָּל־גּוֹיִ֤ם ׀ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֗יתָ יָב֤וֹאוּ ׀ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְפָנֶ֣יךָ אֲדֹנָ֑י וִֽיכַבְּד֣וּ לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃

All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name.

horeni ADONAI darkekha ahallekh ba'amittekha yached levavi leyir'a shemekha
Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; Make one my heart to fear Thy name. .
12אוֹדְךָ֤ ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּכָל־לְבָבִ֑י וַאֲכַבְּדָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעוֹלָֽם׃

I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
13כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ גָּד֣וֹל עָלָ֑י וְהִצַּ֥לְתָּ נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י מִשְּׁא֥וֹל תַּחְתִּיָּֽה׃
ki-chasdekha gadol alay vehitzalta nafshi misheol tachtiyya
For great is Thy mercy toward me; And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world.
14אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ זֵ֘דִ֤ים קָֽמוּ־עָלַ֗י וַעֲדַ֣ת עָ֭רִיצִים בִּקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א שָׂמ֣וּךָ לְנֶגְדָּֽם׃
elohim zedim kamu-alay va'adat aritzim bikshu nafshi velo samukha lenegdam
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And the company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set Thee before them.
15וְאַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי אֵל־רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת׃
ve'atta adonay el-rachum vechannun erekh appayim verav-chesed ve'emet
But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16פְּנֵ֥ה אֵלַ֗י וְחָ֫נֵּ֥נִי תְּנָֽה־עֻזְּךָ֥ לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝הוֹשִׁ֗יעָה לְבֶן־אֲמָתֶֽךָ׃
pene elay vechanneni tena-uzzekha le'avdekha vehoshi'a leven-amatekha
O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; Give Thy strength unto Thy servant, And save the son of Thy handmaid.
17עֲשֵֽׂה־עִמִּ֥י א֗וֹת לְט֫וֹבָ֥ה וְיִרְא֣וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י וְיֵבֹ֑שׁוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה עֲזַרְתַּ֥נִי וְנִחַמְתָּֽנִי׃
ase-immi ot letova veyiru son'ay veyevoshu ki-atta ADONAI azartani venichamtani
Work in my behalf a sign for good; That they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
