Psalm 28

1To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.
1To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
3Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.
4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
5Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
6Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
8The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
9Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
