Psalms 28
1 Lord, I call to you;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.(C1)
If you remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.(C2)2 Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your holy sanctuary.(C1)
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.(C1)4 Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.(C1)5 Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and not rebuild them.(C1)
6 Blessed be the Lord,
for he has heard the sound of my pleading.(C1)7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.(C1)
Therefore my heart celebrates,
and I give thanks to him with my song.(C2)
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;(F1)
he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.(C1)9 Save your people, bless your possession,
shepherd them, and carry them forever.(C1)
