Psalms 28
Chapter 28 of 150
1 Petition and Thanksgiving. Of David. 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.
2 Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help when I lift up my hands toward your holy place.
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked, with those who do wrong, Who speak peace to their neighbors though evil is in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds, for the evil that they do. For the work of their hands repay them; give them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not understand the Lord’s works, the work of his hands, He will tear them down, never to rebuild them.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who has heard the sound of my pleading.
7 The 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.
8 Lord, you are a strength for your people, the saving refuge of your anointed.
9 Save your people, bless your inheritance; pasture and carry them forever!
