Great Is Your Steadfast Love

iA Prayer of David.

¹jIncline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,

for I am kpoor and needy.

²Preserve my life, for I am lgodly;

save your servant, who mtrusts in you—you are my God.

³nBe gracious to me, O Lord,

for to you do I cry all the day.

⁴Gladden the soul of your servant,

for oto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵For you, O Lord, are good and pforgiving,

qabounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

⁶rGive ear, O Lord, to my prayer;

listen to my plea for grace.

⁷In sthe day of my trouble I call upon you,

tfor you answer me.

⁸There is unone like you among the gods, O Lord,

vnor are there any works like yours.

⁹wAll the nations you have made shall come

and worship before you, O Lord,

and shall glorify your name.

¹⁰For xyou are great and ydo wondrous things;

zyou alone are God.

¹¹aTeach me your way, O Lord,

that I may bwalk in your truth;

cunite my heart to fear your name.

¹²I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,

and I will glorify your name forever.

¹³dFor great is your steadfast love toward me;

you have edelivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

¹⁴O God, insolent men have frisen up against me;

a band of ruthless men seeks my life,

and they do not set you before them.

¹⁵But you, O Lord, are a God gmerciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

¹⁶hTurn to me and be gracious to me;

give your strength to iyour servant,

and save ithe son of your maidservant.

¹⁷jShow me a sign of your kfavor,

that those who hate me may see and be put to shame

because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

A Psalm of lthe Sons of Korah. A Song.

¹On mthe holy mount nstands the city he founded;

²the Lord oloves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

³pGlorious things of you are spoken,

O qcity of God. Selah

⁴Among those who rknow me I mention sRahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with tCush1—

“This one was born there,” they say.

⁵And of Zion it shall be said,

“This one and that one were born in her”;

for the Most High himself will uestablish her.

⁶The Lord records as he vregisters the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

⁷wSingers and xdancers alike say,

“All my ysprings are in you.”
