1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
1 'n Psalm van Dawid. Ek roep U aan, o HERE! My rots, draai nie stilswygend van my af weg nie, sodat ek nie, as U teenoor my bly swyg, word soos die wat in die kuil neerdaal nie.
2 Hoor die stem van my smekinge as ek U aanroep om hulp, as ek my hande ophef na die binneste van u heiligdom.
3 Ruk my nie weg saam met die goddelose en saam met die werkers van ongeregtigheid nie; wat van vrede spreek met hulle naaste, maar daar is kwaad in hulle hart.
4 Gee hulle na hul dade en na die boosheid van hul handelinge; gee hulle na die werk van hul hande; vergeld hulle na hulle dade.
5 Omdat hulle nie let op die dade van die HERE of op die werk van sy hande nie, sal Hy hulle afbreek en hulle nie bou nie.
6 Geloofd sy die HERE, want Hy het die stem van my smekinge gehoor.
7 Die HERE is my sterkte en my skild; op Hom het my hart vertrou, en ek is gehelp; daarom jubel my hart en sal ek Hom loof met my gesang.
8 Die HERE is 'n sterkte vir hulle, en Hy is 'n vesting van verlossing vir sy gesalfde.
9 Verlos u volk en seën u erfdeel, en wees vir hulle 'n herder en dra hulle tot in ewigheid.
