Psalms 28
1Unto thee will I cry , O LORD my rock ; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit . 2Hear the voice of my supplications , when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle . 3Draw me not away with the wicked , and with the workers of iniquity , which speak peace to their neighbours , but mischief is in their hearts . 4Give them according to their deeds , and according to the wickedness of their endeavours : give them after the work of their hands ; render to them their desert . 5Because they regard not the works of the LORD , nor the operation of his hands , he shall destroy them, and not build them up . 6Blessed be the LORD , because he hath heard the voice of my supplications . 7The LORD is my strength and my shield ; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped : therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth ; and with my song will I praise him. 8The LORD is their strength , and he is the saving strength of his anointed . 9Save thy people , and bless thine inheritance : feed them also, and lift them up for ever .
