Of David.
1To you, O Yahweh, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2Hear the voice of my petitions when I cry out to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy place.
3Do not draw me away with the wicked, Even with the workers of wickedness who speak peace with their neighbors when evil is in their hearts.
4Give to them according to their work and according to the wickedness of their deeds. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Repay them what they deserve.
5Because they do not understand the works of Yahweh, nor the deeds of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices. I will praise him with my song.
8Yahweh is the strength of his people. Yes, he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.
9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
