1. A prayer for David himself.Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
2. Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
3. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
4. Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
