Bow Your ear, for I am poor and needy; Guard my life, for I have trusted You. Be merciful through every hour I call You; Bring the soul of Your servant into joy. Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk within Your truth. Unite my heart to fear Your name, And I will praise You with my whole heart. No god among the nations is beside You; No works compare with all that You have done. All the peoples You created will adore You, For You alone are great and God. Proud men rise and violent ones pursue me, But You are full of mercy, slow to wrath. Show a sign of good and strengthen Your servant; Let the ones who hate me see and turn back.
