Psalm 28:2-4

Common English Bible

² Listen to my request for mercy when I cry out to you,
    when I lift up my hands to your holy inner sanctuary.
³ Don’t drag me off with the wicked and those who do evil;
    the type who talk nice to their friends
    while evil thoughts are in their hearts!
⁴ Pay them back for what they’ve done!
    Pay them back for their evil deeds!
    Pay them back for their handiwork!
    Give back to them exactly what they deserve!
