¹To you I have cried, my god; do not be silent to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
²Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy house.

³Do not count me with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
⁴Reward them according to their deeds and according to their evil actions.
⁵Because they have not understood the works of Yahvah, nor the operation of his hands, he will destroy them and not build them up.

⁶Blessed be Yahvah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
⁷Yahvah is my helper and my protector; my heart trusted in him, and I am happy; I will praise him with glorious song.

⁸Yahvah is the strength of his people, and he is the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
⁹Save your people, Yahvah, and bless your inheritance; also shepherd them, and take care of them forever.
