A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry
, O LORD
my rock
; be not silent
to me: lest, if thou be silent
to me, I become
like them that go down
into the pit
.
Hear the voice
of my supplications
, when I cry
unto thee, when I lift up
my hands
toward thy holy
oracle
.
Draw me not away with the wicked
, and with the workers
of iniquity
, which speak
peace
to their neighbours
, but mischief
is in their hearts
.
Give them according to their deeds
, and according to the wickedness
of their endeavours
: give
them after the work
of their hands
; render
to them their desert
.
Because they regard not the works
of the LORD
, nor the operation
of his hands
, he shall destroy
them, and not build them up
.
Blessed be the LORD
, because he hath heard
the voice
of my supplications
.
The LORD is my strength
and my shield
; my heart
trusted
in him, and I am helped
: therefore my heart
greatly rejoiceth
; and with my song
will I praise
him.
The LORD is their strength
, and he is the saving
strength
of his anointed
.
Save thy people
, and bless
thine inheritance
: feed
them also, and lift them up
for ever
.
