Psalms 28

(By David.)

A Prayer for Help

1 Only you, Lord,
    are a mighty rock![a]
    Don't refuse to help me
    when I pray.
If you don't answer me,
    I will soon be dead.
2 Please listen to my prayer
    and my cry for help,
    as I lift my hands
    toward your holy temple.

3 Don't drag me away, Lord,
    with those cruel people,
    who speak kind words,
    while planning trouble.
4 Treat them as they deserve!
    Punish them for their sins.
5 They don't pay any attention
    to your wonderful deeds.
    Now you will destroy them
    and leave them in ruin.

6 I praise you, Lord,
    for answering my prayers.
7     You are my strong shield,
    and I trust you completely.
You have helped me,
    and I will celebrate
    and thank you in song.

8 You give strength
    to your people, Lord,
    and you save and protect
    your chosen ones.
9 Come save us and bless us.
    Be our shepherd and always
    carry us in your arms.
