1To You, O LORD, I call;
be not deaf to me, O my Rock.
For if You remain silent,
I will be like those descending to the Pit.
2Hear my cry for mercy
when I call to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
and with the workers of iniquity,
who speak peace to their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.
— Psalm 28:1-3
