1 Psalm 28 Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield Of David.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 28:2Lit the innermost place of Your sanctuary Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me away with the wickedAnd 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 YahwehNor 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 28:8A few mss and ancient versions the strength of His people their strength,And He is a 28:8Or refuge of salvation strong defense of salvation to His anointed.
9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
