Psalm 28

Of David.

¹To you, O Lord, I call;
my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you be silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.

² Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary.

³Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.

⁴ Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.

⁵Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.

⁶Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.

⁷The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.

⁸The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.

⁹Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
