Ps 28
1
A Psalm of David. - To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me:
lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the
pit.
2
Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands
toward your holy temple.
3
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity,
who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices:
give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.
5
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his
hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
6
Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
7
The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped:
my flesh has revived, and willingly will I Or, confess to him give praise to him.
8
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the Gr. defender of the salvation of saving defender of his anointed.
9
Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them
up for ever.
