Psalm 28
Ad te, Domine
1
O LORD , I call to you; my Rock, do not be deaf to my cry;
lest, if you do not hear me, I become like those who go down to the Pit.
2
Hear the voice of my prayer when I cry out to you,
when I lift up my hands to your holy of holies.
3
Do not snatch me away with the wicked or with the evildoers,
who speak peaceably with their neighbors, while strife is in their hearts.
4
Repay them according to their deeds,
and according to the wickedness of their actions.
5
According to the work of their hands repay them,
and give them their just deserts.
6
They have no understanding of the LORD'S doings, nor of the works of his hands;
therefore he will break them down and not build them up.
7
Blessed is the LORD !
for he has heard the voice of my prayer.
8
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I have been helped;
9
Therefore my heart dances for joy,
and in my song will I praise him.
10
The LORD is the strength of his people,
a safe refuge for his anointed.
11
Save your people and bless your inheritance;
shepherd them and carry them for ever.
