A Psalm of David.
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.
02 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry
unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy
holy oracle.
03 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.
04 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.

05 Because they regard not the works of the Lord,
nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy
them, and not build them up.
06 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the
voice of my supplications.
07 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.
08 The Lord is their strength, and he is the
saving strength of his anointed.
09 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:
feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
