Psalm 28:1-9
(Of David’s.)
28 To you, Jehovah, I call;my Rock, do not be deaf to me,For fear you should keep quiet in my caseand I become such as are those who are down in the Pit;
2 Hear my suppliant voice when I clamor to you,when I raise my hands toward your holy shrine.
3 Do not rake me up with malefactors,with those who practice villainy,That talk peace with their neighborsbut have harm in their hearts.
4 Give them what will match their doings,the viciousness of their practices;Such as the work their hands have done give to them,give them back their own dealings!
5 Because they have no sense of Jehovah’s doingsand of the work his hands have done,he shall tear them down and not rebuild them.
6 Blessed be Jehovahbecause he has heard my suppliant voice.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my song;my heart relies on him,And I am helped, and my heart exults,and with my song I will thank him.
8 Jehovah is might to his people,and his anointed one’s citadel of salvation is he.
9 Save your people and bless your estate,and shepherd them and carry them forever.
