1. To you, Lord, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2. Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3. Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
4. Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
