NET BibleKing James Bible
1By David. To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave. 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.
2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple! 2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them! 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.
4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them! 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.
5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them. 5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy! 6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7The LORD strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude. 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.
8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king. 8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times! 9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
