Inclina, Domine.
1 Bow down thine ear, O | Lord, and | hear me; ||
3 for | I am | poor, • and in | miser•y. ||
2 Preserve thou my | soul, for • I am | holy: ||
my God, save thy | 3 servant that | 3 putteth his | trust in • thee. ||
3 Be merciful unto | me, O | Lord; ||
for I will | call | 3 daily up- | on thee. ||
4 Comfort the | 3 soul of • thy | servant; ||
for unto thee, O | Lord, • do I | 3 lift up • my | soul. ||
5 For thou, Lord, art | good and | gracious, ||
and of great | mercy • unto | all • them that | call up•on thee. ||
6 Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, * and ponder the voice of my | 3 humble de- | sires. ||
7 In the time of my trouble I will | call up•on thee; | for thou | hearest • me. ||
8 Among the gods there is none like unto | thee, O | Lord; ||
there is not | one • that can | do as | thou • doest. ||
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee, O Lord; * and shall | glori•fy thy | Name. ||
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: * | thou art | God a- | lone. ||
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will | 3 walk in • thy | truth: ||
O knit my heart unto | thee, that • I may | fear thy | Name. ||
12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with | all my | heart; ||
and will praise thy | Name for | ever- | more. ||
13 For | 3 great is • thy | mercy • toward me; ||
and thou hast delivered my | soul • from the | nether•most | hell. ||
14 O God, the proud are | 3 risen a- | gainst me; ||
and the congregations of naughty men have sought after my soul, * and have not set | thee be- | fore their | eyes. ||
14 O God, the proud are | 3 risen a- | gainst me; ||
and the congregations of violent men have sought after my soul, * and have not set | thee be- | fore their | eyes. ||
15 But thou, O Lord God, art full of com- | 3 passion and | mercy, ||
long-suffering, | 3 plenteous in | goodness • and | truth. ||
16 O turn thee then unto | me, • and have | mercy up•on me; ||
give thy strength unto thy servant, and | help the | 3 son of • thine | handmaid. ||

17 Show some token upon me for good; * that they who hate me may | see it, and • be a- | shamed, ||
because 3 thou, | Lord, hast | holpen • me, and | comforted • me. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
