Please listen to my prayer
    and my cry for help,
as I lift my hands
    toward your holy temple.

Don't drag me away, Lord,
    with those cruel people,
who speak kind words,
    while planning trouble.
(A) Treat them as they deserve!
    Punish them for their sins.

Hear my cry for mercy(A)
    as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands(B)
    toward your Most Holy Place.(C)

Do not drag me away with the wicked,

    and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(E)
    and bring back on them what they deserve.(F)
