Psa28

Psalms – Chapter 28

¹Of David.

I

To you, LORD, I call;

my Rock, do not be deaf to me,

Do not be silent toward me,

so that I join those who go down to the pit.

²Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help

when I lift up my hands toward your holy place.

³Do not drag me off with the wicked,

with those who do wrong,

Who speak peace to their neighbors

though evil is in their hearts.

⁴Repay them for their deeds,

for the evil that they do.

For the work of their hands repay them;

give them what they deserve.

⁵Because they do not understand the LORD’s works,

the work of his hands,

He will tear them down,

never to rebuild them.

II

⁶Blessed be the LORD,

who has heard the sound of my pleading.

⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield,

in whom my heart trusts.

I am helped, so my heart rejoices;

with my song I praise him.

III

⁸ LORD, you are a strength for your people,

the saving refuge of your anointed.

⁹Save your people, bless your inheritance;

pasture and carry them forever!
