| 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. | 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 to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. | 2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. |
| 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 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 endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve. | 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 do not regard 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 has 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 rejoices, And with my song I will 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 refuge of His anointed. | 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed. |
| 9Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever. | 9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever! |
