1 My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.
1 Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, [if] thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.
2Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
3Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.
3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
4Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.
4 Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.
4The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.
5 For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.
5The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
6And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.
7The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
8The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.
8 Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.
8The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
9Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.
9The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
