| 1 | [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; My Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; Lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit. | To 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. | Of David. To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit. | |
| 2 | Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, When I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary. | Hear 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. | Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. | |
| 3 | Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; Who speak peace with their neighbours, But evil is in their hearts. | Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. | Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. | |
| 4 | Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; Give them after the work of their hands; Render to them their desert. | Give 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. | Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve. | |
| 5 | Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, Nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up. | Because 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. | Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. | |
| 6 | Blessed be the LORD, Because He hath heard the voice of my supplications. | Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. | Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. | |
| 7 | The LORD is my strength and my shield, In Him hath my heart trusted, And I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, And with my song will I praise Him. | The 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. | The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. | |
| 8 | The LORD is a strength unto them; And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed. | The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. | The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. | |
| 9 | Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; And tend them, and carry them for ever. | Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. | Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. | |
