9 verses · word-for-word from the Hebrew and Greek · free to read

1A Psalm of David. I will call to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, be not silent to me, lest, if you be silent from me I may be compared with those going down into the Pit.
2Hear the voice of my prayers in my crying to You, when I lift my hands to the oracle of Your holiness
3Draw me not away with the wicked ones, with the workers of iniquity; those who speak peace with their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts.
4Give to them according to their deeds and according to the evil of their practices; as is the work of their hands, give to them, repay their deeds to them.
5Because they pay no attention to the work of Jehovah, and to the works of His hands, He will destroy them, and not build them up.
6Blessed be Jehovah, because He has heard the voice of my prayers.
7Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; yea, my heart greatly rejoices, and I will thank Him with my song.
8Jehovah is their strength, and He is the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance and feed them, and lift them up forever.
