Tried but Trusting
A prayer of David.
1. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2. Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.
3. Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I call to You all day long.
4. Bring joy to Your servant,
for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5. For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving,
rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.
6. Hear my prayer, O LORD,
and attend to my plea for mercy.
7. In the day of my distress I call on You,
because You answer me.
8. O Lord, there is none like You among the gods,
nor any works like Yours.
9. All the nations You have made
will come and bow before You, O Lord,
and they will glorify Your name.
10. For You are great and perform wonders;
You alone are God.
11. Teach me Your way, O LORD,
that I may walk in Your truth.
Give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear Your name.
12. I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify Your name forever.
13. For great is Your loving devotion to me;
You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.
14. The arrogant rise against me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
with no regard for You.
15. But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
16. Turn to me and have mercy;
grant Your strength to Your servant;
save the son of Your maidservant.
17. Show me a sign of Your goodness,
that my enemies may see and be ashamed;
for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
