Psalm 28

Psalm 28

A Psalm of David.

¹To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: ^aDo not be silent to me,

^bLest, if You are silent to me,

I become like those who go down to the pit.

²Hear the voice of my supplications

When I cry to You,

^cWhen I lift up my hands ^dtoward Your holy sanctuary.

³Do not ¹take me away with the wicked

And with the workers of iniquity,

^eWho speak peace to their neighbors,

But evil is in their hearts.

^4fGive them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;

Give them according to the work of their hands;

Render to them what they deserve.

⁵Because ^gthey do not regard 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 has heard the voice of my supplications!

⁷The Lord is ^hmy strength and my shield;

My heart ⁱtrusted in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,

And with my song I will praise Him.

⁸The Lord is ²their strength,

And He is the ^jsaving refuge of His ³anointed.

⁹Save Your people,

And bless ^kYour inheritance;

Shepherd them also,

^lAnd bear them up forever.
