1. INCLINE YOUR ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and distressed, needy and desiring.
2. Preserve my life, for I am godly and dedicated; O my God, save Your servant, for I trust in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, without fear or doubt].
3. Be merciful and gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day.
4. Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord, for to You do I lift myself up.
5. For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.
