1A Prayer by David. 2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. 3Be merciful to me, Lord, 4Bring joy to the soul of your servant, 5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; 6Hear, LORD, my prayer. 7In the day of my trouble I will call on you, 8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, 9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. 10For you are great, and do wondrous things. 11Teach me your way, LORD. 12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. 13For your loving kindness is great toward me. 14God, the proud have risen up against me. 15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, 16Turn to me, and have mercy on me! 17Show me a sign of your goodness,
