| 1To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit. | 1A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You are silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit. |
| 2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. | 2Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. |
| 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts. | 3Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts. |
| 4Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve. | 4Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense. |
| 5Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up. | 5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications. | 6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. |
| 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song. | 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him. |
| 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed. | 8The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed. |
| 9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever! | 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. |
