Psalms 28
1 By David. I call to you, LORD; you are my rock. Do not be deaf to me. If you stay silent before me, I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your inner sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked or with those who do evil, who speak of peace with their neighbors while carrying evil in their hearts.
4 Repay them for what they do and for the evil of their deeds; repay them for the work of their hands. Give them what they deserve.
5 For they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands. He will tear them down and not rebuild them.
6 Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard my plea for mercy.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I was helped. My heart exults, and I praise him with my song.
8 The LORD is strength for them; he is the stronghold of salvation for his anointed.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
