Psalm 28
My Strength
Of David.
1
Lord, I call to you;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.28:1 Ps 83:1
If you remain silent to me,
2Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.28:3 Ps 26:9–10
4Repay them according to what they have done —
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
5Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and not rebuild them.28:5 Jb 34:26–28; Is 5:12
6Blessed be the Lord,
for he has heard the sound of my pleading.28:6 Ps 31:22
7The Lord is my strength and my shield;
Therefore my heart celebrates,
8The Lord is the strength of his people;28:8 Some Hb mss, LXX, Syr; other Hb mss read strength for them
9Save your people, bless your possession,
