Psalm 28

Psalm 28

A Psalm of David.

¹Unto 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.
