Psalms 28:1-6

1 Lord, my Rock, I call out to you for help. Do not be deaf to me. If you are silent, I will be like those in the grave.

2 Hear the sound of my prayer, when I cry out to you for help. I raise my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

3 Don't drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil. They say "Peace" to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts.

4 Pay them back for what they have done, for their evil deeds. Pay them back for what they have done; give them their reward.

5 They don't understand what the Lord has done or what he has made. So he will knock them down and not lift them up.

6 Praise the Lord, because he heard my prayer for help.

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.
