1: Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if thou be silent to 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 thy holy oracle. |
|
3:
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in
their hearts. |
|
4: Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands;
render to them their desert. |
|
5: Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
|
|
6: Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications. |
|
7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my
song will I praise him. |
|
8: The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of
his anointed. |
|
9: Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for ever. |
