1Of David. To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. (مز 18:2; مز 35:22; مز 39:12; مز 83:1; مز 88:4; مز 109:1; مز 143:7)2Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.[1] (1مل 8:29; مز 5:7; مز 119:48; مز 134:2; مز 138:2; مز 140:6; مز 141:2; مرا 2:19; 1تي 2:8)3Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. (مز 5:9; مز 12:2; مز 26:9; مز 55:21; مز 62:4; إر 9:8; حز 32:20)4Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.

(أي 34:27; إش 5:12)6Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. (مز 28:2)7The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. (مز 3:3; مز 11:1; مز 69:30)8The Lord is the strength of his people;[2] he is the saving refuge of his anointed. (مز 20:6; مز 140:7)9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. (تث 9:29; تث 32:9; مز 78:71; إش 40:11; إش 46:3; إش 63:9)
