1 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

27:1 Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me:
nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

2 Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te;
dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

3 Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus,
et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me;
qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo,
mala autem in cordibus eorum.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

4 Da illis secundum opera eorum,
et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum.
Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis;
redde retributionem eorum ipsis.

5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

5 Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini,
et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos,
et non ædificabis eos.

6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

6 Benedictus Dominus,
quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

7 Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus;
in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum:
et refloruit caro mea,
et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.

8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

8 Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ,
et protector salvationum christi sui est.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

9 Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ;
et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
