(A)Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
    when I cry to you for help,
when I (B)lift up my hands
    (C)toward your most holy sanctuary.[a]

Do not (D)drag me off with the wicked,
    with the workers of evil,
(E)who speak peace with their neighbors
    while evil is in their hearts.
(F)Give to them according to their work
    and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
    (G)render them their due reward.

  1. Psalm 28:2 Hebrew your innermost 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)

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
