   1   To thee, O Lord, I call;
  O my Rock, be not deaf to my cry,
    lest, if thou answer me with silence,
  I become like those who go down to the abyss.
     2   Hear my cry for mercy
    when I call to thee for help,
  when I lift my hands to thy holy shrine.
3   Do not drag me away with the ungodly, with evildoers,
who speak civilly to neighbours, with malice in their hearts.
4   Reward them for their works, their evil deeds;
  reward them for what their hands have done;
  give them their deserts.
   5   Because they pay no heed to the works of the Lord
    or to what his hands have done,
    may he tear them down and never build them up!

     6   Blessed be the Lord,
  for he has heard my cry for mercy.

Book 1
   7   The Lord is my strength, my shield,
    in him my heart trusts;
  so I am sustained, and my heart leaps for joy,
    and I praise him with my whole body. ^note
   8   The Lord is strength to his people, ^note
    a safe refuge for his anointed king.

9   O save thy people and bless thy own,
  shepherd them, carry them for ever.
