Psalms 28
28
To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3
Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.
4
Give 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.
5
Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
8
The LORD is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
9
Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever.
