Psalm 28

Revised Geneva Translation

28 To You, O LORD, do I cry. O my strength, do not be deaf toward me; lest if You do not answer me, I be like those who go down into the pit.

² Hear the voice of my petitions when I cry to You, when I hold up my hands toward Your Holy Oracle.

³ Do not draw me away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, who speak friendly to their neighbors when malice is in their hearts.

⁴ Reward them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Recompense them for the work of their hands. Render them their reward.

⁵ For they do not reward the works of the LORD, nor the operation of His hands. Break them down and do not build them up.

⁶ Praised be the LORD, for He has heard the voice of my petitions.

⁷ The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted in Him, and I was helped. Therefore, my heart shall rejoice; and with my song I will praise Him.

⁸ The LORD is their strength; and He is the strength of the deliverances of His anointed.

⁹ Save Your people and bless Your inheritance. Feed them, also, and exalt them forever. A Psalm of David.
