Psalms 28

Psalm 28
Of David.
1To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I shall be like those who go down to the pit.
2Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
towards your Most Holy Place.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbours
but harbour malice in their hearts.
4Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
8The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them for ever.

Psalm 28
By David.
1O Lord, I call to you.
O my rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me.
If you remain silent,
I will be like those who go into the pit.
2Hear my prayer for mercy when I call to you for help,
when I lift my hands toward your most holy place.
3Do not drag me away with wicked people,
with troublemakers who speak of peace with their neighbors
but have evil in their hearts.
4Pay them back for what they have done,
for their evil deeds.
Pay them back for what their hands have done,
and give them what they deserve.
5The Lord will tear them down and never build them up again,
because they never consider what he has done
or what his hands have made.
6Thank the Lord!
He has heard my prayer for mercy!
7The Lord is my strength and my shield.
My heart trusted him, so I received help.
My heart is triumphant; I give thanks to him with my song.
8The Lord is the strength of his people
and a fortress for the victory of his Messiah.#28:8 Or “anointed one.”
9Save your people, and bless those who belong to you.
Be their shepherd, and carry them forever.
