JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
2When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.
3Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
4Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.
4One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
5Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.
5For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
6Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
6And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
7Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
8The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
8In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
9Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
