Next

¶ [A Psalm] of David. 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.

A Psalm of David {H1732}. Unto thee will I cry {H7121}, O LORD {H3068} my rock {H6697}; be not silent {H2814} to me: lest, if thou be silent {H2790} to me, I become {H4911} like them that go down {H3381} into the pit {H953}.

By David: ADONAI, I am calling to you; my Rock, don't be deaf to my cry. For if you answer me with silence, I will be like those who fall in a pit.

To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
