To You, LORD, I call; My ^(C1)rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You ^(C2)are silent to me, I will become like those who ^(C3)go down to the pit.

Hear the ^(C1)sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help, When I ^(C2)raise my hands ^(C3)toward ^(F1)Your holy ^(C4)sanctuary.

^(C1)Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who practice injustice, Who ^(C2)speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.

Give back to them ^(C1)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.

Because they ^(C1)do not regard the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.

Blessed be the LORD, Because He ^(C1)has heard the sound of my pleading.

The LORD is my ^(C1)strength and my ^(C2)shield; My heart ^(C3)trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore ^(C4)my heart triumphs, And with ^(C5)my song I shall thank Him.

The LORD is ^(F1)their ^(C1)strength, And He is a refuge of ^(C2)salvation to His anointed.

^(C1)Save Your people and bless ^(C2)Your inheritance; Be their ^(C3)shepherd also, and ^(C4)carry them forever.
