| 1 | To David. To thee, O Jehovah, will I call, my rock; thou wilt not be silent from me: lest thou wilt be silent from me and I was made like with them going down to 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 in my crying to thee, in my lifting up my hands to the oracle of thy holy place. | 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 | Thou wilt not draw me with the unjust, and with those working vanity, speaking peace with their neighbors, and evil in their heart. | 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 to them according to their work and according to the evil of their doings, according to the word of their hands; give to them, turn back to them their recompense. | 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 | For they will not understand for the doing of Jehovah, and for the work of his hands; he will destroy them and he will 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 | Praised be Jehovah, for he 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 | Jehovah my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusted, and I was helped: and my heart will exult, and from 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 | Jehovah strength to them, and he the fortress of salvations of his Messiah. | 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 feed them and lift them up even 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. | |
