Of◦ David.
to▵ Thee, Jehovah, will I call;
my Rock, be· not ·silent with me,
lest Thou be··mute with me,
and I seem··similar to those who go··down to the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my supplications◦, when I cry··out to▵ Thee,
when I lift my hands to▵ the oracle of Thy holiness.
3
Draw me not away with the wicked,
nor◦ with the workers of iniquity◦,
who speak peace with their companions,
but evil is in their heart.
4
Give to them according··to their work,
and according··to the evil of their actions;
according··to the deeds of their hands, Give to them;
return to them their recompense.
5
For they understand not the works of Jehovah, nor◦ the deeds of His hands,
He will break· them ·down and not build them up.
6
blessed be Jehovah,
for He has heard the voice of my supplications◦.
7
Jehovah is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
and my heart triumphs;
and from my song will I confess Him.
8
Jehovah is a strength to them,
and the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed is He◦.
9
Save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance;
and shepherd them and lift· them ·up even··to eternity.
