1Davidic. LORD, I call to You; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If You remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit. | 1A Psalm of David. 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. |
2Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to You for help, 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 drag me away with the wicked, with the evildoers, who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors while malice 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. |
4Repay them according to what they have done-- according to the evil of their deeds. Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back 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 consider what the LORD has done or the work of His hands, He will tear them down and not rebuild them. | 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. |
6May the LORD be praised, for He has heard the sound of my pleading. | 6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. |
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I praise Him with my song. | 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 the strength of His people; He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed. | 8The LORD is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed. |
9Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever. | 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. |
