2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you.
6 Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, For you will answer me.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.
