b'Psalms 281A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O Lord, do I cry: O my strength, be not deaf toward me, lest, if thou answer me not, I be like them that go down into the pit.Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry unto thee, when I hold up mine hands toward thine holy Oracle.Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity: which speak friendly to their neighbors, when malice is in their hearts.Reward them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their inventions: recompense them after the work of their hands: render them their reward.For they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands: therefore break them down, and build them not up.65'
