Trust in the Lord, answered by Him in whom the heart trusted, so that it rejoices in and celebrates Him.

[A psalm] of David.

Unto Thee I cry, Jehovah, my rock! be not silent to me:lest, if Thou be silent to me, I be like them that go down to the pit.

2. Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry unto Thee; when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy oracle.

3. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with workers of vanity, speaking peace with their neighbors, while evil is in their hearts.

4. Give them according to their works, and according to the evil of their practicings:give them according to the works of their hands, render to them their recompense.

5. Because they discern not the works of Jehovah, nor the operations of His hands, He shall break them down and not build them up.

6. Blessed be Jehovah, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7. Jehovah, my strength and my shield! in Him I trusted and am helped; and my heart exulteth, and with my song will I celebrate Him.

8. Jehovah is strength for such; and the stronghold of salvation for His Anointed is He.

9. Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; shepherd them, and bear them forever.
