¹ Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.^(A)
2 Preserve my life, for I am devoted to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God;^(B)

¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to your servant;
    save the child of your maidservant.^(A)
17 Show me a sign of your favor,
    so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame,
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.^(B)
