Psalms 28

   |   

A song of David.

1 Lord, you are my Rock.
    I am calling to you for help.
    Don't close your ears to my prayers.
If you don't answer me,
    I will be counted among the dead.
2 I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place.
    Hear me when I call to you.
    Show mercy to me.
3 Don't treat me like the evil people
    who do wicked things.
They greet their neighbors like friends,
    but secretly plan to hurt them.
4 They do bad things to others,
    so make bad things happen to them.
    Give them the punishment they deserve.
5 They don't notice what the Lord does.
    They ignore all the good things he has made.
So instead of building them up,
    he will destroy them.

6 Praise the Lord!
    He has heard my prayer for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and shield.
    I trusted him with all my heart.
He helped me, so I am happy.
    I sing songs of praise to him.
8 The Lord protects his chosen one.[a]
    He saves him and gives him strength.

9 Save your people.
    Bless those who belong to you.
    Lead them and honor them[b] forever.
