The Lord is my strength

1
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.

The Lord is my strength

1
To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3
Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5
Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8
The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
