   Final triumph of God's government.
   A Prayer of David.
   ¹ Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me; for I am poor and needy.
   ² Preserve my soul; for I am holy; O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
   ³ Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for I cry unto thee daily.
   ⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
   ⁵ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
   ⁶ Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
   ⁷ In the day of my trouble, I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
   ⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
   ⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
   ¹⁰ For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone.
   ¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth; unite my heart to fear thy name.
   ¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
   ¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
   ¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
   ¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
   ¹⁶ Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
   ¹⁷ Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
