1To you, Yahweh, 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.
2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4Give 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.
5Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.
6Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7Yahweh 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.
8Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.
1I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.
3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
5For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8I cried to you, Yahweh.
I made supplication to the Lord:
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper.”
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
