1 I cry out to you, Lord.You are my rock; don’t refuse to hear me.If you won’t talk to me,I’ll be just like those going down to the pit.
2 Listen to my request for mercy when I cry out to you,when I lift up my hands to your holy inner sanctuary.
3 Don’t drag me off with the wicked and those who do evil;the type who talk nice to their friendswhile evil thoughts are in their hearts!
4 Pay them back for what they’ve done!Pay them back for their evil deeds!Pay them back for their handiwork!Give back to them exactly what they deserve!
