1
To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, do not refuse to hear me, for if you are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
2
Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
3
Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts.
4
Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; repay them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
5
Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more.
6
Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.
7
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to 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.
Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
