Psalm 28
English Standard Version
The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield
Of David.
28 To you, O Lord, I call;
(A)my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you (B)be silent to me,
I become like those who (C)go down to the pit.
2 (D)Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I (E)lift up my hands
(F)toward your most holy sanctuary.[a]
3 Do not (G)drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
(H)who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
4 (I)Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
(J)render them their due reward.
5 Because they (K)do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.
6 Blessed be the Lord!
For he has (L)heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and (M)my shield;
in him my heart (N)trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my (O)song I give thanks to him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;[b]
he is (P)the saving refuge of his anointed.
9 Oh, save your people and bless (Q)your heritage!
(R)Be their shepherd and (S)carry them forever.

Psalm 28
King James Version
28 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Panalangin Upang Tulungan ng Diyos
Katha ni David.
28 Tagapagtanggol kong Yahweh, ako'y nananawagan,
sana'y iyong pakinggan itong aking karaingan.
Kung katugunan ay hindi mo ibibigay,
para na rin akong nasa daigdig ng mga patay.
2 Pakinggan mo sana ang paghingi ko ng saklolo,
kapag itinataas ang kamay ko sa iyong banal na Templo.
3 Huwag mo akong ibilang sa mga masasama,
na pawang kalikuan ang mga ginagawa;
kung magsalita'y parang mga kaibigan,
ngunit sa puso'y may pagkamuhing taglay.
4 Parusahan(A) mo sila sa kanilang ginagawa,
pagkat mga gawa nila'y pawang masasama.
Parusa sa kanila'y iyong igawad,
ibigay sa kanila ang hatol na dapat.
5 Mga gawa ni Yahweh ay di nila pinapansin,
mabubuti niyang gawa'y ayaw intindihin;
kaya't sila'y kanyang pupuksain,
at hindi na muling pababangunin.
6 Si Yahweh ay dapat purihin!
Dininig niya ang aking mga daing.
7 Si Yahweh ang lakas ko at kalasag,
tiwala ko'y sa kanya nakalagak.
Tinutulungan niya ako at pinasasaya,
sa awiti'y pinasasalamatan ko siya.
8 Iniingatan ni Yahweh ang kanyang sambayanan;
siya ang kanlungan ng kanyang haring hinirang.
9 Iligtas mo, Yahweh, ang iyong bayan,
ang mga sa iyo, ay iyong basbasan.
Alagaan mo sila magpakailanman,
tulad ng pastol sa kanyang kawan.
