1. Of David.To you, Lord, I call;my Rock, do not be deaf to me,Do not be silent toward me,so that I join those who go down to the pit.
2. Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for helpwhen I lift up my hands toward your holy place.
3. Do not drag me off with the wicked,with those who do wrong,Who speak peace to their neighborsthough evil is in their hearts.
4. Repay them for their deeds,for the evil that they do.For the work of their hands repay them;give them what they deserve.
