A Psalm of David.

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.

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.

^(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.

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.

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.

Blessed be the Lord , Because He ^(l)has heard the voice of my supplication.

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.

The Lord is ^[c]their ^(r)strength, And He is a ^[d](s)saving defense to His anointed.

^(t)Save Your people and bless ^(u)Your inheritance; Be their ^(v)shepherd also, and ^(w)carry them forever.
