TO You I will cry, O LORD my Rock : do not be silent to me, lest, of You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.

2 Hear the  voice of my supplications when I cry to You, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not take me away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors ; give them according to the work of their hands ; render to them what they deservr.

5 Because they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up.

6 Blessed  be  the LORD, because He has heard the voice of my supplications !

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield ; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped ; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

8 The LORD is their strength, and He is the saving refuge of His anonted.

9  Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance ; shepherd them also , and bear them up forever. Psalm 28
