| 2 | Hear the voice of my supplication as I cry to You for help, as I lift up my hands toward Your innermost sanctuary (the Holy of Holies). |
| 3 | Drag me not away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but malice
and
mischief are in their hearts. |
| 4 | Repay them according to their work and according to the wickedness of their doings; repay them according to the work of their hands; render to them what they deserve. |
| 5 | Because they regard not the works of the Lord nor the operations of His hands, He will break them down and not rebuild them. |
| 6 | Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications. |
| 7 | The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on,
and
confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. |
| 8 | The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed. |
| 9 | Save Your people and bless Your heritage; nourish
and
shepherd them and carry them forever. |
