Hear the (A)sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help,
When I (B)raise my hands (C)toward [a]Your holy (D)sanctuary.
(E)Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who practice injustice,
Who (F)speak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
Give back to them (G)according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;
Give back to them according to the work of their hands;
Repay them what is due them.

  1. Psalm 28:2 Lit the innermost place of Your sanctuary

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,
    with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
    but harbor malice in their hearts.(D)
Repay them for their deeds
    and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(E)
    and bring back on them what they deserve.(F)
