- «By David.»
To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don't be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
- 2
- Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
- 3
- Don't draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
- 4
- Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
- 5
- Because they don't regard the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
- 6
- Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
- 7
- Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
- 8
- Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
- 9
- Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
