Psalms 28

The LORD Is My Strength

1Of David. To you, O LORD, I call; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I become like those going down to the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy inner sanctuary.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evil is in their heart.
4Give to them according to their deed, and according to the evil of their doings; according to the work of their hands give to them; return their recompense to them.
5For they do not understand the deeds of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; he will tear them down and not build them up.
6Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard the voice of my supplications.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusted, and I was helped; and my heart exults, and with my song I will praise him.
8The LORD is strength to them, and a stronghold of salvation (Yeshuah) to his anointed is he.
9Save^a your people and bless your inheritance; and shepherd them and carry them forever.
