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.

Psalms 28
28
Psalm 28
Of David.
1I cry out to you, LORD.
You are my rock; don’t refuse to hear me.
If you won’t talk to me,
I’ll be just like those going down to the pit.
2Listen to my request for mercy when I cry out to you,
when I lift up my hands to your holy inner sanctuary.
3Don’t drag me off with the wicked and those who do evil;
the type who talk nice to their friends
while evil thoughts are in their hearts!
4Pay them back for what they’ve done!
Pay them back for their evil deeds!
Pay them back for their handiwork!
Give back to them exactly what they deserve!
5Because they have no regard for what the LORD has done,
no regard for his handiwork,
God will tear them down and never rebuild!
6Bless the LORD
because he has listened to my request for mercy!
7The LORD is my strength and my shield.
My heart trusts him.
I was helped, my heart rejoiced,
and I thank him with my song.
8The LORD is his people’s strength;
he is a fortress of protection for his anointed one.
9Save your people, God!
Bless your possession!
Shepherd them and carry them for all time!
