Of David
PSALM 28 C.M.

1 To thee I’ll cry, O LORD, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.

2 The voice hear of my humble pray’rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.

3 With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.

4 Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavourèd:
And as their handiworks deserve,
to them be renderèd.

5 God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The LORD’s own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.

6 For ever blessèd be the LORD,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petïtions,
and prayers did regard.

7 The LORD’s my strength and shield; my heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helpèd: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly.

And with my song I will him praise.
8 Their strength is GOD alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.

9 O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.

9 O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.
