¹ To You, O Lord, I call;
My ^(a)rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You ^(b)are silent to me,
I will become like those who ^(c)go down to the pit.
² Hear the ^(d)voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,
When I ^(e)lift up my hands ^(f)toward ^[a]Your holy ^(g)sanctuary.
^3 (h)Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who work iniquity,
Who ⁽ⁱ⁾speak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
⁴ Requite them ^(j)according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;
Requite them according to the deeds of their hands;
Repay them their ^[b]recompense.
⁵ Because they ^(k)do not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.

⁶ Blessed be the Lord,
Because He ^(l)has heard the voice of my supplication.
⁷ The Lord is my ^(m)strength and my ⁽ⁿ⁾shield;
My heart ^(o)trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore ^(p)my heart exults,
And with ^(q)my song I shall thank Him.
⁸ The Lord is ^[c]their ^(r)strength,
And He is a ^[d](s)saving defense to His anointed.
^9 (t)Save Your people and bless ^(u)Your inheritance;
Be their ^(v)shepherd also, and ^(w)carry them forever.
