A Psalm of David. To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
1
{[A Psalm] of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, [if] thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1
To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2
Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
3
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.
5
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
6
Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
7
The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
8
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
