Verse 1

A Psalm of David{H1732}. Unto thee will I cry{H7121}{(H8799)}, O LORD{H3068} my rock{H6697}; be not silent{H2814}{(H8799)} to me: lest, if thou be silent{H2790}{(H8799)} to me, I become{H4911}{(H8738)} like them that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} into the pit{H953}.

Verse 2

Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the voice{H6963} of my supplications{H8469}, when I cry{H7768}{(H8763)} unto thee, when I lift up{H5375}{(H8800)} my hands{H3027} toward thy holy{H6944} oracle{H1687}.

Verse 3

Draw me not away{H4900}{(H8799)} with the wicked{H7563}, and with the workers{H6466}{(H8802)} of iniquity{H205}, which speak{H1696}{(H8802)} peace{H7965} to their neighbours{H7453}, but mischief{H7451} is in their hearts{H3824}.

Verse 4

Give{H5414}{(H8798)} them according to their deeds{H6467}, and according to the wickedness{H7455} of their endeavours{H4611}: give{H5414}{(H8798)} them after the work{H4639} of their hands{H3027}; render{H7725}{(H8685)} to them their desert{H1576}.

Verse 5

Because they regard{H995}{(H8799)} not the works{H6468} of the LORD{H3068}, nor the operation{H4639} of his hands{H3027}, he shall destroy{H2040}{(H8799)} them, and not build them up{H1129}{(H8799)}.

Verse 6

Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068}, because he hath heard{H8085}{(H8804)} the voice{H6963} of my supplications{H8469}.

Verse 7

The LORD{H3068} is my strength{H5797} and my shield{H4043}; my heart{H3820} trusted{H982}{(H8804)} in him, and I am helped{H5826}{(H8738)}: therefore my heart{H3820} greatly rejoiceth{H5937}{(H8799)}; and with my song{H7892} will I praise{H3034}{(H8686)} him.

Verse 8

The LORD{H3068} is their strength{H5797}, and he is the saving{H3444} strength{H4581} of his anointed{H4899}.

Verse 9

Save{H3467}{(H8685)} thy people{H5971}, and bless{H1288}{(H8761)} thine inheritance{H5159}: feed{H7462}{(H8798)} them also, and lift them up{H5375}{(H8761)} for ever{H5769}.
