| 1To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit. | 1Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit. |
| 2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. | 2Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. |
| 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts. | 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts. |
| 4Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve. | 4Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve. |
| 5Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up. | 5Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications. | 6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy. |
| 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song. | 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song. |
| 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed. | 8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed. |
| 9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever! | 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever. |
