## To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul 

###### 1
Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, _and_ answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. 

###### 2
Keep my soul, for I am a holy one; O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You. 

###### 3
Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I call all day long. 

###### 4
Make glad the soul of Your slave, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 

###### 5
For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. 

###### 6
Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer; And give heed to the voice of my supplications! 

###### 7
In the day of my distress I shall call upon You, For You will answer me. 

###### 8
There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. 

###### 9
All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. 

###### 10
For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. 

###### 11
Teach me Your way, O Yahweh; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. 

###### 12
I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. 

###### 13
For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below. 

###### 14
O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of ruthless men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. 

###### 15
But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. 

###### 16
Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Your strength to Your slave, And save the son of Your maidservant. 

###### 17
Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see _it_ and be ashamed, Because You, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
