NET BibleHolman Christian Standard Bible
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. 1Davidic. LORD, 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 my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple! 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 evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them! 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.
4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them! 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.
5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them. 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.
6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy! 6May the LORD be praised, for He has heard the sound of my pleading.
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. 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I praise Him with my song.
8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king. 8The LORD is the strength of His people; He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
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! 9Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.
