Psalms 28:1

PrayerLonelinessDeath and loss
To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2 Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
