1. Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,for I am poor and needy.
2. Preserve my life, for I am godly;save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3. Be gracious to me, O Lord,for to you do I cry all the day.
4. Gladden the soul of your servant,for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;listen to my plea for grace.
7. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.
