| A Prayer for Help, and Praise for Its Answer |
| A Psalm of David. |
| [1] | UNTO thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit. |
| [2] | Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward 1 thy holy oracle. |
| [3] | Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts. |
| [4] | Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert. |
| [5] | Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up. |
| [6] | Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. |
| [7] | Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him. |
| [8] | Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever. |
| Note 1. Or, toward the innermost place of thy sanctuary. [back] |
