A prayer of Dawiḏ.
1 Incline Your ear, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
Answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my being, for I am kindly;
You are my Elohim;
Save Your servant who is trusting in You!
3 Show favour to me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
For I cry to You all day long.
4 Bring joy to the being of Your servant,
For to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, I lift up my being.
5 For You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, are good, and ready to forgive,
And great in kindness to all those who call upon You.
6 Give ear, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to my prayer;
And listen to the voice of my pleadings.
7 In the day of my distress I call upon You,
For You answer me.
8 There is none like You among the mighty ones, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄;
And like Your works there are none.
9 Let all nations You have made
Come and bow themselves before You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
And give esteem to Your Name.
10 For You are great, and are doing wonders;
You are Elohim, You alone.
11 Teach me Your Way, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄;
Let me walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to revere Your Name.
12 I praise You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 my Elohim, with all my heart,
And I esteem Your Name forever.
13 For Your kindness is great toward me,
And You have delivered my being
From the depths of the grave.
14 O Elohim, the proud have risen against me,
And a band of dreaded men have sought my life,
And have not put You before them.
15 But You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
Are a compassionate Ĕl and showing favour,
Patient and great in kindness and truth.
16 Turn to me, and show favour to me!
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your female servant.
17 Show me a sign for good,
And let those hating me see it and be ashamed,
For You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, have helped me and comforted me.
