Psalm 28
World English Bible
By David.

28 To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me,
lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3
Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
5
Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.

6
Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7
Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him.
8
Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9
Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.

PSALM 28 L.M.

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
Do not be deaf to my loud cry.
I’ll be like those gone down to death,
If you are silent in reply.

2 Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
As now I call to you for grace,
As I lift up my hands in prayer
And look to your Most Holy Place.

3 O drag me not away with those
Who practise wickedness and sin,
Who kindly to their neighbours speak
But harbour malice deep within.

4 Repay them for their evil deeds
And for their acts of wickedness;
Bring back on them what they deserve
And punish their unrighteousness.

5 Because the LORD’s works they despise
And treat his actions with disdain,
In justice he will tear them down
And never build them up again.

6 Praise to the LORD, for he has heard
The plea for mercy which I made.
7 He is my strength, he is my shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid.

My heart uplifted leaps for joy;
My thanks to him I gladly sing.
8 The LORD God is his people’s strength,
A saving fortress for his king.

9 LORD, save your people, your own flock;
Be pleased your heritage to bless.
Be their good shepherd; carry them
For ever in your faithfulness.
