| 1A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. | 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. |
| 2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. | 2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. |
| 3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. | 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. |
| 4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. | 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. |
| 5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. | 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. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. | 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications. |
| 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. | 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. |
| 8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. | 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed. |
| 9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. | 9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever! |
