1 UNTO thee will I cry, O
LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be
asilent to me, I become like them that go down into
the
bpita.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I
cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy
aoracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with
the workers of iniquity, which aspeak
bpeace to their neighbours, but cmischief
is in their hearts.

1a the pit 'The pit' is that
'hell' which is removed from the presence and thus also the voice or word of
God. David fears being so consigned to the 'pit'. In current status, 'the
pit' is that spirit prison kept from the presence of God. It is what Satan
and his followers have conceived as being prepared for those they can so
entice. Yet in the end that which they have prepared will be in fact their
own final state. Ironically David will spend time in the pit because of his
sins of adultry and murder until the Lord does so deliver him. (see Ps 88:4)
