1 Only you, Lord,are a mighty rock!Don't refuse to help mewhen I pray.If you don't answer me,I will soon be dead.
2 Please listen to my prayerand my cry for help,as I lift my handstoward your holy temple.
3 Don't drag me away, Lord,with those cruel people,who speak kind words,while planning trouble.
4 Treat them as they deserve!Punish them for their sins.
5 They don't pay any attentionto your wonderful deeds.Now you will destroy themand leave them in ruin.
6 I praise you, Lord,for answering my prayers.
7 You are my strong shield,and I trust you completely.You have helped me,and I will celebrateand thank you in song.
8 You give strengthto your people, Lord,and you save and protectyour chosen ones.
9 Come save us and bless us.Be our shepherd and alwayscarry us in your arms.
