¹ O LORD, my defender, I call to you. Listen to my cry! If you do not answer me, I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead. ² Hear me when I cry to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy Temple. ³ Do not condemn me with the wicked, with those who do evil--- those whose words are friendly, but who have hatred in their hearts. ⁴ Punish them for what they have done, for the evil they have committed. Punish them for all their deeds; give them what they deserve! ⁵ They take no notice of what the LORD has done or of what he has made; so he will punish them and destroy them forever. ⁶ Give praise to the LORD; he has heard my cry for help. ⁷ The LORD protects and defends me; I trust in him. He gives me help and makes me glad; I praise him with joyful songs. ⁸ The LORD protects his people; he defends and saves his chosen king. ⁹ Save your people, LORD, and bless those who are yours. Be their shepherd, and take care of them forever.
