A Prayer of David.

1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Ready to forgive – Let your faith grow strong by meditation upon the promises. R5381:5*

6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. Among the gods – Elohim, mighty ones. E67

9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. Glorify thy name – "When thy judgments are made manifest." (Rev. 15:4) All will hail him as the infinitely wise one. R5430:4

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. Delivered my soul – Christ's soul. E365

From the lowest hell – Depth of sheol, oblivion. Peculiarly applicable to Jesus since he was liable to perpetual oblivion if not raised from the dead. E365

Margin, the grave. R2599:3

The gradual change of language has attached a totally different meaning to the word "hell" than it originally had-- the grave. PD29/41


14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
