Great Is Your Steadfast Love

A Prayer of David.

 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
   for I am poor and needy.
² Preserve my life, for I am godly;
   save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
³ Be gracious to me, O Lord,
   for to you do I cry all the day.
⁴ Gladden the soul of your servant,
   for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
⁵ For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
   abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
⁶ Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
   listen to my plea for grace.
⁷ In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
   for you answer me.

⁸ There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
⁹ All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
¹⁰ For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
¹¹ Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
¹² I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
¹³ For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, insolent men have risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to your servant,
and save the son of your maidservant.
¹⁷ Show me a sign of your favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
