Psalm 28, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, do not refuse to hear me, for if you are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
 

2

Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
 

3

Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbours, while mischief is in their hearts.
 

4

Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; repay them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
 

5

Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more.
 

6

Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.

7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
 

8

The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
 

9

O save your people, and bless your heritage; be their shepherd, and carry them forever.
