1 TO thee I cry, O Lord, my Rock; Let me thy [speedy] answer have, Lest by thy silence I become Like dead men [buried] in the grave.
2 My earnest supplications hear When I to thee [for help] do cry; When I my hands lift up towards Thy [sacred] Oracle on high.
3 O draw me not away with those Who [falsely] act this wicked part; Who speak unto their neighbour's peace, While mischief's in their [treacherous] heart.
3 O draw me not away with those Who [falsly] act this wicked part; Who speak unto their neighbour's peace, While mischief's in their [treacherous] heart.
