Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield
Of David.
To You, O Yahweh, I call;
My arock, do not be silent to me,
Lest if You bare hesitant toward me,
I will become like those who cgo down to the pit.
2 Hear the avoice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,
When I blift up my hands ctoward Your holy dsanctuary.
3 aDo not drag me away with the wicked
And with workers of iniquity,
Who bspeak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
4 Give to them aaccording to their work and according to the evil of their actions;
Give to them according to the deeds of their hands;
Return their dealings upon them.
5 Because they ado not regard the works of Yahweh
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Because He ahas heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Yahweh is my astrength and my bshield;
My heart ctrusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore dmy heart exults,
And with emy song I shall thank Him.
8 Yahweh is their astrength,
And He is a bstrong defense of salvation to His anointed.
9 aSave Your people and bless bYour inheritance;
Be their cshepherd also, and dcarry them forever.
