The Koine Bible

Of David. To you, O Lord, I have cried out; my God, do not be silent from me, lest you be silent from me and I become like those going down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my petition, in my pleading to you, in my lifting up my hands toward your holy temple.

Do not drag away my soul with sinners, and do not destroy me with those who work lawlessness, with those who speak peace to their neighbors, but evils are in their hearts

Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their practices, according to the works of their hands; give to them, repay their recompense to them.

For they did not understand the works of the Lord and the works of his hands; you will tear them down and will by no means build them up.

Blessed is the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication.

The Lord is my helper and my defender; in him my heart hoped, and I was helped, and my flesh flourished, and from my will I will give thanks to him

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvations of his anointed one.

Save your people and bless your inheritance and shepherd them and lift them up forever
