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.
5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
