1

To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

4

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

6

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

7

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

8

The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

9

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
