Psalm 28:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place.
    Hear me when I call to you.
    Show mercy to me.
³ Don’t treat me like the evil people
    who do wicked things.
They greet their neighbors like friends,
    but secretly plan to hurt them.
⁴ They do bad things to others,
    so make bad things happen to them.
    Give them the punishment they deserve.
