Psalm 28:1-9
Of David.
1 To You, O Yahweh, I call; My rock, do not be silent to me, Lest if You are hesitant toward me, I will become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with workers of iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
4 Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their actions; Give to them according to the deeds of their hands; Return their dealings upon them.
5 Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
8 Yahweh is their strength, And He is a strong defense of salvation to His anointed.
9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
