1. To you, O Yahweh, I call. O my rock, do not be deaf to me. Or else, if you are silent to me, then I will become like those descending 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 inner sanctuary.
3. Do not drag me away with the wicked or with the workers of evil, who speak of peace with their neighbors, while evil is in their heart.
