| Berean Study Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1Of David. 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. | 1To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. |
| 2Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. | 2Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. |
| 3Do 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. | 3Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. |
| 4Repay 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. | 4Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. |
| 5Since 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. | 5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy. | 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. |
| 7The 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. | 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. |
| 8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed. | 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. |
| 9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever. | 9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. |
