1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.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.
2Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!
3Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.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!
4Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them!
5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them.
6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy!
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.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.
8The LORD is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.
9Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever.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!
