Psalms - Chapter 28

Supplication

1 A Psalm of David. 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.

Gratitude

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.
