THE MESSAGE

Psalms 28

A David Psalm

1 Don't turn a deaf ear
    when I call you, God.
If all I get from you is
    deafening silence,
I'd be better off
    in the Black Hole.

2 I'm letting you know what I need,
    calling out for help
And lifting my arms
    toward your inner sanctum.3-4 Don't shove me into
    the same jail cell with those crooks,
With those who are
    full-time employees of evil.
They talk a good line of "peace,"
    then moonlight for the Devil.

Pay them back for what they've done,
    for how bad they've been.
Pay them back for their long hours
    in the Devil's workshop;
Then cap it with a huge bonus.

5 Because they have no idea how God works
    or what he is up to,
God will smash them to smithereens
    and walk away from the ruins.6-7 Blessed be God
    he heard me praying.
He proved he's on my side;
    I've thrown my lot in with him.

Now I'm jumping for joy,
    and shouting and singing my thanks to him.8-9 God is all strength for his people,
    ample refuge for his chosen leader;
Save your people
    and bless your heritage.
Care for them;
    carry them like a good shepherd.
