PSALM 28
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.
2The voice hear of my humble pray'rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.
3With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.
4Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavoured:
And as their handy-works deserve,
to them be rendered.
5God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The Lord's own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.
6For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petitions,
and prayers did regard.
7The Lord's my strength and shield; my heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,
And with my song I will him praise.
8Their strength is God alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.
9O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.

PSALM 28.
1A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
4The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
8The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
9The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
10The Lord maketh the hood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
