1. A Psalm of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou shouldst be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit.
2. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to thee, when I lift my hands towards thy holy oracle.
3. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4. Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
