1 To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me,
lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him.
8 Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.

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.
