By David.

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.

大卫的诗。 1 耶和华啊！我向你呼求；

我的盘石啊！不要不听我；

如果你缄默不理我，

我就跟那些下坑的人一样。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 我向你呼求，

向你的至圣所举手祷告的时候，

求你垂听我恳求的声音。

3 求你不要把我和坏人，

跟作恶的人一同除掉；

他们与邻居说平安的话，

心里却存着奸恶。

4 愿你按着他们所作的，照着他们所行的恶报应他们；

愿你照着他们手所作的报应他们，

把他们应得的报应加给他们。

5 他们既然不关心耶和华的作为，和他手所作的，

耶和华就必拆毁他们，不建立他们。

6 耶和华是应当称颂的，

因为他听了我恳求的声音。

7 耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌；

我的心倚靠他，我就得到帮助；

所以我的心欢乐。

我要用诗歌颂赞他。

8 耶和华是他子民的力量，

又是他受膏者得救的保障。

9 求你拯救你的子民，

赐福给你的产业，

牧养他们，怀抱他们，直到永远。
