Psalms - Chapter 27

Passage

A psalm for David himself. To you will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not you silent to me: lest if you are silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you; when I lift up my hands to your holy temple. Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbor, but evils are in their hearts. Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give you to them: render to them their reward. Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: you shall destroy them, and shall not build them up. Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication. The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him has my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him. The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed. Save, O Lord, your people, and bless your inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
