Psalms 28
Psalm 28
Of David.
1 To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear(a) to me.
For if you remain silent,(b)
I will be like those who go down to the pit.(c)
2 Hear my cry for mercy(d)
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands(e)
toward your Most Holy Place.(f)
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.(g)
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(h)
and bring back on them what they deserve.(i)
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,(j)
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the Lord,(k)
for he has heard my cry for mercy.(l)
7 The Lord is my strength(m) and my shield;
my heart trusts(n) in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,(o)
and with my song I praise him.(p)
8 The Lord is the strength(q) of his people,
a fortress of salvation(r) for his anointed one.(s)
9 Save your people(t) and bless your inheritance;(u)
be their shepherd(v) and carry them(w) forever.
