1
Lord, my Rock, I call out to you. Pay attention to me. If you remain silent, I will die. I will be like those who have gone down into the grave.
2
Hear my cry for your favor when I call out to you for help. Hear me when I lift up my hands in prayer toward your Most Holy Room.
3
Don't drag me away with sinners. Don't drag me away with those who do evil. They speak in a friendly way to their neighbors. But their hearts are full of hatred.
4
Pay them back for their evil actions. Pay them back for what their hands have done. Give them exactly what they should get.
5
They don't care about the Lord's mighty acts. They don't care about what his hands have done. So he will tear them down. He will never build them up again.
