A Prayer in Troubled Times

Of David.

28 Lord, my Rock [C providing protection], I ·call out to you for help [pray].
    Do not be ·deaf [silent] to me.
If you are silent,
    I will be like those ·in the grave [L who go down to the Pit; 16:10].
Hear the sound of my ·prayer [supplication],
    when I cry out to you for help.
I raise my hands
    toward your Most Holy Place [C the place where God made his presence known, the sanctuary].

    toward your Most Holy Place.(F)
