1 A Prayer of David.
Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
5 For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee. Ready to forgive – Let your faith grow strong by meditation upon the promises. R5381:5*

6 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none. Among the gods – Elohim, mighty ones. E67

9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to 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 great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
11 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
13 For Thy kindness [is] great 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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
15 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
