Psalm 28
Modern English Version
Psalm 28
A Psalm of David.
1 To You, O Lord, will I cry;
    my Rock, do not be silent to me;
lest if You were silent to me,
    then I would become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
    when I cry to You,
when I lift up my hands
    toward Your most holy place.
3 Do not draw me away with the wicked
    and with the workers of iniquity,
who speak peace to their neighbors,
    but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds,
    and according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
give them according to the work of their hands;
    return to them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,
    nor the work of His hands,
He will destroy them
    and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
    because He has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
    my heart trusted in Him, and I was helped;
therefore my heart rejoices,
    and with my song I will thank Him.
8 The Lord is the strength of His people,
    and He is the saving strength of His anointed.
9 Save Your people,
    and bless Your inheritance;
    feed them and lift them up forever.
