Psalms 27

1 A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; My God, be not silent toward me: Lest thou be silent toward me, And so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, And destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, But evils are in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their works, And according to the wickedness of their devices: Give them according to the works of their hands; Render their recompense unto them.
5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, Even to the works of his hands, Thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; My heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: My flesh has revived, And willingly will I give praise to him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, And the saving defender of his anointed.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: And take care of them, and lift them up forever.
