6Hear, O Lord, my prayer; And listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)! 7In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours. 9All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. 10For You are great and do wondrous works! You alone are God.
