| 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. | 1LORD, I call to you; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If you remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit. |
| 2Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. | 2Listen to the sound of my pleading 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 And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts. | 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with the evildoers, who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors while malice is in their hearts. |
| 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. | 4Repay them according to what they have done--according to the evil of their deeds. Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back what they deserve. |
| 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. | 5Because they do not consider what the LORD has done or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and not rebuild them. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. | 6Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard the sound of my pleading. |
| 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. | 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart celebrates, and I give thanks to him with my song. |
| 8The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed. | 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed. |
| 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. | 9Save your people, bless your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever. |
