Psalm 28-29
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield
Of David.
28 To You, O Yahweh, I call;
My (A)rock, do not be silent to me,
Lest if You (B)are hesitant toward me,
I will become like those who (C)go down to the pit.
2 Hear the (D)voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,
When I (E)lift up my hands (F)toward [a]Your holy (G)sanctuary.
3 (H)Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with workers of iniquity,
Who (I)speak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
4 Give to them (J)according to their work and according to the evil of their actions;
Give to them according to the deeds of their hands;
Return their dealings upon them.
5 Because they (K)do not regard the works of Yahweh
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Because He (L)has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Yahweh is my (M)strength and my (N)shield;
My heart (O)trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore (P)my heart exults,
And with (Q)my song I shall thank Him.
8 Yahweh is [b]their (R)strength,
And He is a [c](S)strong defense of salvation to His anointed.
9 (T)Save Your people and bless (U)Your inheritance;
Be their (V)shepherd also, and (W)carry them forever.
The Voice of Yahweh
A Psalm of David.
29 (X)Ascribe to Yahweh, O [d]sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Worship Yahweh (Y)in the splendor of holiness.
3 The (Z)voice of Yahweh is upon the waters;
The God of glory (AA)thunders,
Yahweh is over [e](AB)many waters.
4 The voice of Yahweh is (AC)powerful,
The voice of Yahweh is full of splendor.
5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;
Indeed, Yahweh breaks in pieces (AD)the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon (AE)skip like a calf,
And (AF)Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of Yahweh hews out [f]flames of fire.
8 The voice of Yahweh causes the wilderness to tremble;
Yahweh causes the wilderness of (AG)Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of Yahweh makes (AH)the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And (AI)in His temple everything says, “Glory!”
10 Yahweh sat enthroned over the (AJ)flood;
Indeed, Yahweh sits as (AK)King forever.
11 [g]Yahweh will give (AL)strength to His people;
[h]Yahweh will bless His people with (AM)peace.
