A Psalm of David.
Unto thee will I cry,
O LORD
my rock;
be not silent
to me: lest, if thou be silent
to me, I become
like them that go down
into the pit.
keep silent
παρασιωπήσῃς
parasiōpēsēs
keep silent

Hear
the voice
of my supplications,
when I cry
unto thee, when I lift up
my hands
toward thy holy
oracle.
Draw me not away
with the wicked,
and with the workers
of iniquity,
which speak
peace
to their neighbours,
but mischief
is in their hearts.
draw together
συνελκύσῃς
synelkysēs
Give
them according to their deeds,
and according to the wickedness
of their endeavours:
give
them after the work
of their hands;
render
to them their desert.
pursuit
ἐπιτηδευμάτων
epitēdeumatōn
Because they regard
not the works
of the LORD,
nor the operation
of his hands,
he shall destroy
them, and not build them up.
Blessed
be the LORD,
because he hath heard
the voice
of my supplications.
The LORD
is my strength
and my shield;
my heart
trusted
in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart
greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song
will I praise
him.
protector
ὑπερασπιστής
hyperaspistēs
The LORD
is their strength,
and he is the saving
strength
of his anointed.
Save
thy people,
and bless
thine inheritance:
feed
them also, and lift them up
for ever.
