Psalms 28

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.

1 To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

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

2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up 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.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice 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.

4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.

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.

5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORDand what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.

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

6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him, and he helps me. I am very happy, and I praise him with my song.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

8 The Lord is powerful; he gives victory to his chosen one.

8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

9 Save your people and bless those who are your own. Be their shepherd and carry them forever. A psalm of David.

9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
