Ps 28

0 Psalm 28 [A Psalm] of David. 1 To you, O YHWH, will I call: My rock, be not you deaf to me; Lest, if you be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to you, When I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle. 3 Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That 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 after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert. 5 Because they regard not the works of YHWH, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up. 6 Blessed be YHWH, Because he has heard the voice of my supplications. 7 YHWH is my strength and my shield; My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoices; And with my song will I praise him. 8 YHWH is their strength, And 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 for ever.
