## Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield 

###### 1
To You, O Yahweh, I call; My rock, do not be silent to me, Lest if You are hesitant toward me, I will become like those who go down to the pit. 

###### 2
Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. 

###### 3
Do not drag me away with the wicked And with workers of iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts. 

###### 4
Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their actions; Give to them according to the deeds of their hands; Return their dealings upon them. 

###### 5
Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up. 

###### 6
Blessed be Yahweh, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications. 

###### 7
Yahweh is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him. 

###### 8
Yahweh is their strength, And He is a strong defense of salvation to His anointed. 

###### 9
Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
