The Lord is my strength
1
Yahweh, I call out to you; You are like a huge rock on top of which I am safe. Do not refuse to answer me because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.
2
Listen to me when I call out for you to help me, when I lift up my hands as I face your very holy place in your sacred tent.
3
Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend to act peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.
4
Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds.
5
Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the wonderful things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!
6
Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
7
Yahweh makes me strong and protects me like a shield; I trust in him, and he helps me. So I was glad in my inner being, and from my inner being I praise him as I sing to him.
8
Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; he saves me, the one he appointed to be king.
9
Yahweh, save your people; bless those who belong to you. Take care of them like a shepherd takes care of his sheep; take care of them forever.
