The Lord is my strength

1
A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2
Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
3
Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.
5
Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.
6
Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
7
The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
8
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
9
Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.

The Lord is my strength

1
To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3
Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5
Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8
The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
