1David prayeth earnestly for God's help against the wicked: 6he blesseth God for his gracious succour: 9he prayeth for the people.
0 A Psalm of David.
1 UNTO thee awill I cry, O LORD bmy rock; cbe not silent 1to me: dlest, if thou be silent to me, eI become like fthem that go down into the pit.
2 Hear gthe voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I hlift up my hands 2toward thy holy oracle.
3 iDraw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, jwhich speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give kthem according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
