¹ Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.² Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.³ Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.⁴ Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices, - According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.⁵ Because they heed not The Deeds of Yahweh, or the Work of his hands, he will pull them down, and not build them.

⁶ Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication.⁷ Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, - Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.⁸ Yahweh, is strength to his people, - And, the all-saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he!⁹ Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age-abiding.
