1 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.
2 Hear the voice of my supplicationsWhen I cry to You,When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not take me away with the wickedAnd with the workers of iniquity,Who speak peace to their neighbors,But evil is in their hearts.
4 Give 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.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,Nor the operation of His hands,He shall destroy themAnd not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The 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.
8 The Lord is their strength,And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
9 Save Your people,And bless Your inheritance;Shepherd them also,And bear them up forever.
