| | 1 | Of David. To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit. | |
| | 2 | 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, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. | |
| | 4 | Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve. | |
| | 5 | Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. | |
| | 6 | Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. | |
| | 7 | The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. | |
| | 8 | The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. | |
| | 9 | Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. | |
