My strength and my shield
I'll call to you, Lord, my rock. Don't be still on me. If you keep quiet, I'll be like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle. Don't drag me off with the wicked and the evildoers — those who speak peace to their neighbours with trouble in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their actions. Give them according to the work of their hands; repay them what they deserve. Because they don't take any notice of what the LORD does or the work of his hands, he'll pull them down and not build them up. Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my pleas. The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted in him, and I was helped. So my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I'll praise him. The LORD is their strength, and he's the saving strength of his anointed. Save your people and bless your inheritance. Feed them and carry them forever.
I'll call to you, Lord, my rock. Don't go quiet on me. If you keep quiet, I'll be like the ones who go down to the pit. Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry out to you, when I lift my hands towards your holy inner room. Don't drag me off with the wicked and the workers of wrong — the ones who speak peace to their neighbours with trouble in their hearts. Give them what their work deserves and what their wicked doings deserve. Give them what their hands have made. Give back to them what's owing. Because they don't take any notice of what the Lord does or the work of his hands, he'll pull them down and not build them up. Blessed be the Lord, because he's heard the sound of my pleading. The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted in him and I got help. So my heart celebrates, and I'll thank him with my song. The Lord is their strength, and he's the saving strength of his anointed. Save your people and bless your inheritance. Feed them and carry them forever.
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
