1. A Psalm of David H1732 . Unto H413 thee will I cry H7121 , O LORD H3068 my rock H6697 ; be not H408 silent H2790 to H4480 me: lest H6435 , if thou be silent H2790 to H4480 me , I become like H4911 H5973 them that go down H3381 into the pit H953 .

5. They don't notice what the Lord does. They ignore all the good things he has made. So instead of building them up, he will destroy them.

5. Because H3588 they regard H995 H413 not H3808 the works H6468 of the LORD H3068 , nor the operation H4639 of his hands H3027 , he shall destroy H2040 them , and not H3808 build them up H1129 .
|
|
6. Praise the Lord! He has heard my prayer for mercy.
|
6. Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 , because H3588 he hath heard H8085 the voice H6963 of my supplications H8469 .

|
7. The LORD H3068 is my strength H5797 and my shield H4043 ; my heart H3820 trusted H982 in him , and I am helped H5826 : therefore my heart H3820 greatly rejoiceth H5937 ; and with my song H4480 H7892 will I praise H3034 him.
