New American Standard Bible 1995NET Bible
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.1By David. To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave.
2Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!
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 evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!
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.4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them!
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.5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them.
6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy!
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 strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude.
8The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed.8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.9Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times!
