2
Hear my prayer for mercy when I call to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your most holy place.
3
Do not drag me away with wicked people, with troublemakers who speak of peace with their neighbors but have evil in their hearts.
4
Pay them back for what they have done, for their evil deeds. Pay them back for what their hands have done, and give them what they deserve.
5
The LORD will tear them down and never build them up again, because they never consider what he has done or what his hands have made.
6
Thank the LORD! He has heard my prayer for mercy!
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted him, so I received help. My heart is triumphant; I give thanks to him with my song.
8
The LORD is the strength of his people and a fortress for the victory of his Messiah.
9
Save your people, and bless those who belong to you. Be their shepherd, and carry them forever.

Psalms 28:2-9 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.
