1 Of David.
I
To you, LORD, I call;
my Rock, do not be deaf to me,
Do not be silent toward me,
so that I join those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help
when I lift up my hands toward your holy place.
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with those who do wrong,
Who speak peace to their neighbors
though evil is in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds,
for the evil that they do.
For the work of their hands repay them;
give them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not understand the LORD’s works,
the work of his hands,
He will tear them down,
never to rebuild them.
II
6 Blessed be the LORD,
who has heard the sound of my pleading.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield,
in whom my heart trusts.
I am helped, so my heart rejoices;
with my song I praise him.
III
8 LORD, you are a strength for your people,
the saving refuge of your anointed.
9 Save your people, bless your inheritance;
pasture and carry them forever!
