Psalm 28
New International Version
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.

Psalm 28[a]
Petition and Thanksgiving
1 Of David.
I
To you, Lord, I call;
my Rock, do not be deaf to me,(A)
Do not be silent toward me,
so that I join those who go down to the pit.(B)
2 Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help
when I lift up my hands toward your holy place.[b](C)
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with those who do wrong,(D)
Who speak peace to their neighbors
though evil is in their hearts.(E)
4 Repay them for their deeds,
for the evil that they do.
For the work of their hands repay them;
give them what they deserve.(F)
5 Because they do not understand the Lord’s works,
the work of his hands,(G)
He will tear them down,
never to rebuild them.
II
6 [c]Blessed be the Lord,
who has heard the sound of my pleading.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield,
in whom my heart trusts.
I am helped, so my heart rejoices;
with my song I praise him.
III
8 [d]Lord, you are a strength for your people,
the saving refuge of your anointed.
9 Save your people, bless your inheritance;
pasture and carry them forever!
Footnotes
- Psalm 28 A lament asking that the psalmist, who has taken refuge in the Temple (Ps 28:2), not be punished with the wicked, who are headed inevitably toward destruction (Ps 28:1, 3–5). The statement of praise is exceptionally lengthy and vigorous (Ps 28:6–7). The Psalm ends with a prayer (Ps 28:8–9).
- 28:2 Your holy place: the innermost part of the Temple, the holy of holies, containing the ark, cf. 1 Kgs 6:16, 19–23; 8:6–8.
- 28:6 The psalmist shifts to fervent thanksgiving, probably responding to a priestly or prophetic oracle in Ps 28:5cd (not usually transmitted) assuring the worshiper that the prayer has been heard.
- 28:8 Your people…your anointed: salvation is more than individual, affecting all the people and their God-given leader.

Súplica y acción de gracias
Salmo de David.
28 A ti clamo, oh Señor;
roca mía(A), no seas sordo para conmigo,
no sea que si guardas silencio hacia mí(B),
venga a ser semejante a los que descienden a la fosa(C).
2 Escucha la voz de mis súplicas cuando a ti pido auxilio(D);
cuando levanto mis manos(E) hacia el lugar santísimo(F) de tu santuario(G).
3 No me arrastres con los impíos(H)
ni con los que obran iniquidad,
que hablan de paz con su prójimo,
mientras hay maldad en su corazón(I).
4 Dales conforme a su obra y según la maldad de sus hechos(J);
dales conforme a la obra de sus manos;
págales[a] su merecido.
5 Porque no tienen en cuenta los hechos del Señor
ni la obra de sus manos(K),
Él los derribará y no los edificará.
6 Bendito sea el Señor,
porque ha oído la voz de mis súplicas(L).
7 El Señor es mi fuerza(M) y mi escudo(N);
en Él confía mi corazón(O), y soy socorrido;
por tanto, mi corazón se regocija(P),
y le daré gracias con mi cántico(Q).
8 El Señor es la fuerza de su pueblo[b](R),
y Él es defensa salvadora[c](S) de su ungido.
9 Salva a tu pueblo(T) y bendice a tu heredad(U),
pastoréalos(V) y llévalos para siempre(W).
