[1] To you, Yahweh, I call.    My rock, don`t be deaf to me;	Lest, if
you are silent to me,	 I would become like those who go down into the
pit. [2] Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,    When I lift
up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. [3] Don`t draw me away with the
wicked,    With the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their
neighbors,    But mischief is in their hearts. [4] Give them according to
their work, and according to the       wickedness of their doings.    Give
them according to the operation of their hands.    Bring back on them what
they deserve. [5] Because they don`t regard the works of Yahweh,    Nor the
operation of his hands,    He will break them down and not build them up.
[6] Blessed be Yahweh,	  Because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
[7] Yahweh is my strength and my shield.    My heart has trusted in him,
and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.	 With my song I
will thank him. [8] Yahweh is their strength.	 He is a stronghold of
salvation to his anointed. [9] Save your people, and bless your
inheritance.	Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.     
Psalm 29  A Psalm by David.
