1By David. 2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, 3Do not draw me away with the wicked, 4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. 5Because they do not regard the works of JEHOVAH, 6Blessed be JEHOVAH, 7JEHOVAH is my strength and my shield. 8JEHOVAH is their strength. 9Save your people,
