1. To you, Lord, I call;you are my Rock,do not turn a deaf ear to me.For if you remain silent,I shall be like those who go down to the pit.
2. Hear my cry for mercyas I call to you for help,as I lift up my handstowards your Most Holy Place.
3. Do not drag me away with the wicked,with those who do evil,who speak cordially with their neighboursbut harbour malice in their hearts.
