1. By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
2. Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3. Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
4. Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.
5. For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
