1 O Lord, I call to you.
2 Hear my prayer for mercy when I call to you for help,
3 Do not drag me away with wicked people,
4 Pay them back for what they have done,
5 The Lord will tear them down and never build them up again,
6 Thank the Lord!
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people
9 Save your people, and bless those who belong to you.
