Psalms
Chapter 28Berean Standard Bible
King James Version
1To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
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.
4Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.
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.
5Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.
The LORD 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.
8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
