1
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3
Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.
5
Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.
6
Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7
Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

Psalms 28:1-7 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 28
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, Aben Ezra says, David either composed himself, or one of the singers for him; the former seems most likely; and it might be made by him when he was persecuted by Saul, or when delivered from him; or at least when he had faith and hope that he should be delivered: the psalm consists of two parts, petitions and thanksgivings.
