A Prayer of David. Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
