1 To You, O LORD, I call; My 1rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You 2are silent to me, I will becomelike those who 3godown to the pit.
2
Hear the 4voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I 5lift up my hands6toward Your holy7sanctuary.
3
8Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who workiniquity, Who 9speakpeace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
4
Requite them 10according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense.
5
Because they 11do not regard the works of the LORDNor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD, Because He 12has heard the voice of my supplication.
7
The LORD is my 13strength and my 14shield; My heart15trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore 16my heartexults, And with 17my song I shall thank Him.
