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.

⁸ There isⓜ none like you among the gods, O Lord, ⓝnor are there any works like yours.

⁹ ⓞ All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.

¹⁰ Forⓟ you are great andⓠ do wondrous things; ⓡyou alone are God.

¹¹ ⓢ Teach me your way, O LORD, that I mayⓣ walk in your truth; ⓤunite my heart to fear your name.

¹³ ⓥ For great is your steadfast love toward me; you haveⓦ delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, insolent men haveⓧ risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.

¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a Godⓨ merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

¹⁶ ⓩ Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength toⓐ your servant, and saveⓑ the son of your maidservant.
