Psalm 28
My Strength
Davidic.
1 Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.(A)
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.(B)
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.(C)
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.(D)
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.(E)
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.(F)
6 May the Lord be praised,
for He has heard the sound of my pleading.(G)
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.(H)
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song.(I)
8 The Lord is the strength of His people;[a]
He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.(J)
9 Save Your people, bless Your possession,
shepherd them, and carry them forever.(K)
Psalm 29
The Voice of the Lord
A Davidic psalm.
1 Ascribe to Yahweh, you heavenly beings,[b]
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name;
worship Yahweh
in the splendor of His holiness.[c](L)
3 The voice of the Lord is above the waters.
The God of glory thunders—
the Lord, above vast waters,(M)
4 the voice of the Lord in power,
the voice of the Lord in splendor.(N)
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.(O)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,(P)
and Sirion,[d] like a young wild ox.(Q)
7 The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.(R)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.(S)
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth[e](T)
and strips the woodlands bare.(U)
In His temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sat enthroned at the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned, King forever.(V)
11 The Lord gives His people strength;(W)
the Lord blesses His people with peace.(X)

Psalm 28
Of David.
1 To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear(A) to me.
For if you remain silent,(B)
I will be like those who go down to the pit.(C)
2 Hear my cry for mercy(D)
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands(E)
toward your Most Holy Place.(F)
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.(G)
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(H)
and bring back on them what they deserve.(I)
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,(J)
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the Lord,(K)
for he has heard my cry for mercy.(L)
7 The Lord is my strength(M) and my shield;
my heart trusts(N) in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,(O)
and with my song I praise him.(P)
8 The Lord is the strength(Q) of his people,
a fortress of salvation(R) for his anointed one.(S)
