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 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent unto me lest, [if] thou be silent unto me, I become like those that go down into the grave.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.

3 Do not catch me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, but evil [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 unto them their desert.

5 Because they do not regard 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 has 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 rejoices; and with my song I will praise him.

8 The LORD [is] the strength of his people, 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.:
