1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent unto me lest, <em>if</em> thou be silent unto me, I become like those that go down into the grave.

To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

2
Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

7 The LORD <em>is</em> 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.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
8 The LORD <em>is</em> the strength of his people, and he <em>is</em> the saving strength of his anointed.

The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
