A prayer by David. Turn your ear {toward me}, O LORD. Answer me, because I am oppressed and needy. Protect me, because I am faithful {to you}. Save your servant who trusts you. You are my God. Have pity on me, O Lord, because I call out to you all day long. Give me joy, O Lord, because I lift my soul to you. You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, full of mercy toward everyone who calls out to you. Open your ears to my prayer, O LORD. Pay attention when I plead for mercy. When I am in trouble, I call out to you because you answer me.
No god is like you, O Lord. No one can do what you do. All the nations that you have made will bow in your presence, O Lord. They will honor you. Indeed, you are great, a worker of miracles. You alone are God.
