Hear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Psalms
1 David strengthens his prayer by the consciousness of his religion, 5 By the goodness and power of God, 11 He desires the continuance of former grace, 14 Complaining of the proud, he craves some token of God's goodness
A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 86:13;Psa 130:7-8;Joe 2:13 5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
1 Kin 8:23;2 Sam 7:22;1 Sam 2:2 8 ¶ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
Psa 95:6-7;Isa 43:7;Rev 15:4 9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Psa 56:1313 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
Psa 111:4;Psa 103:8;Neh 9:17 15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
