Chapter 28
Psalms
Verse 1To you, O LORD, I call;my rock, be not deaf to me,lest, if you be silent to me,I become like those who go down to the pit.Verse 2Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,when I cry to you for help,when I lift up my handstoward your most holy sanctuary.Verse 3Do not drag me off with the wicked,with the workers of evil,who speak peace with their neighborswhile evil is in their hearts.Verse 4Give to them according to their workand according to the evil of their deeds;give to them according to the work of their hands;render them their due reward.Verse 5Because they do not regard the works of the LORDor the work of his hands,he will tear them down and build them up no more.Verse 6Blessed be the LORD!For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.Verse 7The LORD is my strength and my shield;in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;my heart exults,and with my song I give thanks to him.Verse 8The LORD is the strength of his people;he is the saving refuge of his anointed.Verse 9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
