Psalms 28

PSAL. XXVIII.

A Psalm of David.

1 Unto thee will I cry, O Yhwh my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. ^{▼▼ to me: Heb. from me.} 2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. ^{▼▼ thy…: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary.} 3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 4 Give 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. 5 Because they regard not the works of Yhwh, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 6 Blessed be Yhwh, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7 Yhwh 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. 8 Yhwh is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. ^{▼▼ their: or, his.
,} ^{▼▼ saving…: Heb. strength of salvations.} 9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. ^{▼▼ feed: or, rule.}
