Tempted, but trusting
1
A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, || Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, || Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
3
Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
4
Make glad the soul of Your servant, || For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5
For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, || And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
6
Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, || And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7
In a day of my distress I call You, || For You answer me.
8
There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, || And like Your works there are none.
9
All nations that You have made || Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, || And give honor to Your Name.
10
For You [are] great, and doing wonders, || You [are] God alone.
11
Show me, O YHWH, Your way, || I walk in Your truth, || My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.
12
I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, || And I honor Your Name for all time.
13
For Your kindness [is] great toward me, || And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14
O God, the proud have risen up against me, || And a company of the terrible sought my soul, || And have not placed You before them,
15
And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, || Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16
Look to me, and favor me, || Give Your strength to Your servant, || And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
17
Do with me a sign for good, || And those hating me see and are ashamed, || For You, O YHWH, have helped me, || Indeed, You have comforted me!
