Psalm 28–29

Psalm 28

A Psalm of David.

¹Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call:

My rock, be not thou deaf unto me;

Lest, if thou be silent unto me,

I become like them that go down into the pit.

²Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,

When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

³Draw me not away with the wicked,

And with the workers of iniquity;

That speak peace with their neighbors,

But mischief is in their hearts.

⁴Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings:

Give them after the operation of their hands;

Render to them their desert.

⁵Because they regard not the works of Jehovah,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He will break them down and not build them up.

⁶Blessed be Jehovah,

Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

⁷Jehovah is my strength and my shield;

My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped:

Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

And with my song will I praise him.

⁸Jehovah is their strength,

And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

⁹Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:

Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever.

Psalm 29

A Psalm of David.

¹Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty,

Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

²Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name;

Worship Jehovah in holy array.

³The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters:

The God of glory thundereth,

Even Jehovah upon many waters.

⁴The voice of Jehovah is powerful;

The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

⁵The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars;

Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He maketh them also to skip like a calf;

Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

⁷The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

⁸The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness;

Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve,

And strippeth the forests bare:

And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

¹⁰Jehovah sat as King at the Flood;

Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

¹¹Jehovah will give strength unto his people;

Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
