1
To you, O
my rock, do not refuse to hear me,
for if you are silent to me,
I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
2
Hear the voice of my supplication,
as I cry to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary. 1
3
Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors,
while mischief is in their hearts.
4
Repay them according to their work,
and according to the evil of their deeds;
repay them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.
5
Because they do not regard the works of the
or the work of his hands,
he will break them down and build them up no more.
6
Blessed be the
for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.
7
The
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
8
The
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9
O save your people, and bless your heritage;
be their shepherd, and carry them forever.
