Psalms 27 CPDV

¹ A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me.For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.

² Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you,when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

³ Do not draw me away together with sinners;and let me not perish with those who work iniquity,who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.

⁴ Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions.Assign to them according to the works of their hands.Repay them with their own retribution.

⁵ Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands,you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.

⁶ Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.

⁷ The Lord is my helper and my protector.In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped.And my flesh has flourished again.And from my will, I shall confess to him.

⁸ The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.

⁹ O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance,and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
