Psalm 28–29

Psalm XXVIII.

A Psalm of David.

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord ^amy rock; ^bbe not silent to me:

Lest, if thou be silent to me, ^cI become like ^cdthem that go down into the pit.

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

When I ^ddlift up my hands ^etoward thy holy ^foracle.

³Draw me not away with the wicked, and with ^ffthe workers of iniquity,

^gWhich speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

^4hGive them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavours:

Give them after the work of their hands;

Render to them ^hhtheir desert.

⁵Because ⁱthey regard not the works of the Lord,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, because he hath ⁱⁱheard the voice of my supplications.

⁷The Lord is my strength and my ^jshield;

My heart ^ktrusted in him, and I am helped:

Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

And with my song will I praise him.

⁸The Lord is their strength,

And he is the saving strength of his anointed.

⁹Save ^lthy people,

And bless ^lthine inheritance:

Feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm XXIX.

A Psalm of David.

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty,

^aGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

^2aGive unto the Lord ^athe glory due unto his name;

Worship the Lord in ^bthe beauty of holiness.

³The voice of the Lord is upon the waters:

^cThe God of glory thundereth:

The Lord is upon ^dmany waters.

⁴The voice of the Lord is powerful;

The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars;

Yea, the Lord breaketh ^ethe cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He maketh them also to ^fskip like a calf;

Lebanon and ^gSirion like a young ^hunicorn.

⁷The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.

⁸The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness;

The Lord shaketh the wilderness of ⁱKadesh.

⁹The voice of the Lord maketh ^kthe hinds to calve,

And discovereth the forests:

And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

¹⁰The Lord sitteth upon ^lthe flood;

Yea, ^mthe Lord sitteth King for ever.

¹¹The Lord will give ⁿstrength unto his people;

The Lord will bless his people with peace.
