| 1 | I pray to you, O LORD, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die. | 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 | Listen to my prayer for mercy as I cry out to you for help, as I lift my hands toward your 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 | Do not drag me away with the wicked— with those who do evil— those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil 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 the punishment they so richly deserve! Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness. Pay them back for all their evil deeds! Give them a taste of what they have done to others. | 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 | They care nothing for what the LORD has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt! | 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 | Praise the LORD! For he has heard my cry for mercy. | 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 shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. | 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 gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king. | 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 your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever. | 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. | |
