1 Lord, you are my Rock. I am calling to you for help. Don’t close your ears to my prayers. If you don’t answer me, I will be counted among the dead.
2 I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place. Hear me when I call to you. Show mercy to me.
3 Don’t treat me like the evil people who do wicked things. They greet their neighbors like friends, but secretly plan to hurt them.
4 They do bad things to others, so make bad things happen to them. Give them the punishment they deserve.
