2Preserve my soul; for I am godly:
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,
6Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.
8There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
11Teach me thy way, O Yahweh; I will walk in thy truth:
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen up against me,
15But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,
16Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant,
17Show me a token for good,
