A Prayer for Help, and Praise for Its Answer.
A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My arock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You bare silent to 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 those who work iniquity,
Who bspeak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
4 Requite them aaccording to their work and according to the evil of their practices;
Requite them according to the deeds of their hands;
Repay them their recompense.
5 Because they ado not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Because He ahas heard the voice of my supplication.
7 The Lord 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 The Lord is their astrength,
And He is a bsaving defense to His anointed.
9 aSave Your people and bless bYour inheritance;
Be their cshepherd also, and dcarry them forever.
