my rock, do not be deaf to me. Ps 83:1
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit. Ps 88:4; 143:7

when I cry to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary. Ps 28:2; 134:2; 141:2; 1Tm 2:8
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts. Ps 26:9-10
4Repay them according to what they have done —
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve. Jr 50:29; Rv 18:6; 22:12
5Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them. Jb 34:26-28; Is 5:12

for He has heard the sound of my pleading. Ps 31:22

Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song. Ps 59:17; 69:30

shepherd them, and carry them forever. Ps 33:12; Is 40:11
