Berean Study Bible

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.
