Der Herr ist Stärke und Schutz

28 Von David.

Zu dir rufe ich, Herr, mein Fels.
Wende dich nicht von mir ab!
Wenn du mich schweigend abweist, werde ich denen gleichen,
die sterben und unter die Erde kommen[a].

Höre mein lautes Rufen, wenn ich dich um Hilfe bitte
und meine Hände ausstrecke zu deiner heiligen Wohnung[b]!

Reiß mich nicht plötzlich in den Tod,
zusammen mit den Gottlosen und Verbrechern,
die mit anderen ´zum Schein` freundlich reden,
während ihre Herzen voller Bosheit sind!

Gib ihnen, was sie für ihre Taten verdienen
und was zu ihrem boshaften Verhalten passt!
Lass das Unheil über sie hereinbrechen, das sie selbst ausgelöst haben.
Zahle ihnen ihr Unrecht heim!

Denn alles, was der Herr tut, ist ihnen gleichgültig.
Sie wollen auch nicht anerkennen,
was seine Hände geschaffen haben.
Darum wird er sie ´und ihre Werke` niederreißen
und nicht wieder aufbauen.

Gepriesen sei der Herr,
denn er hat auf mein lautes Flehen gehört!

Der Herr ist meine Stärke und mein Schild.
Auf ihn habe ich vertraut, darum wurde mir geholfen.
Deshalb ist mein Herz voll Freude und Jubel,
ich will ihn preisen mit meinem Lied.

Der Herr ist Stärke und Schutz für sein Volk;
seinen gesalbten König[c] umgibt er wie eine sichere Festung,
die ihm Rettung bringt.

Hilf deinem Volk und segne dein Eigentum,
weide und trage es wie ein Hirte seine Herde für immer und ewig!

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.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

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.

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.

Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

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.

The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm 28

Of David.

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)
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)

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)
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)

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.

Praise be to the Lord,(K)
    for he has heard my cry for mercy.(L)
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)

The Lord is the strength(Q) of his people,
    a fortress of salvation(R) for his anointed one.(S)
Save your people(T) and bless your inheritance;(U)
    be their shepherd(V) and carry them(W) forever.

Rejoicing in Answered Prayer

A Psalm of David.

28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
(A)Do not be silent to me,
(B)Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
(C)When I lift up my hands (D)toward Your holy sanctuary.

Do not [a]take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
(E)Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
(F)Give them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.
Because (G)they do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.

Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
The Lord is (H)my strength and my shield;
My heart (I)trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.

The Lord is [b]their strength,
And He is the (J)saving refuge of His [c]anointed.
Save Your people,
And bless (K)Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
(L)And bear them up forever.
