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 voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your 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 take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is 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. |
| 4Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to 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 regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not 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, Because He has heard the voice 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 trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him. | 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 their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed. | 8The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed. |
| 9Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever. | 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. |
