Psalm 28

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 By David: ADONAI, I am calling to you; my Rock, don't be deaf to my cry. For if you answer me with silence, I will be like those who fall in a pit.

2 Hear the sound of my prayers when I cry to you, when I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

3 Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those whose deeds are evil; they speak words of peace to their fellowmen, but evil is in their hearts.

4 Pay them back for their deeds, as befits their evil acts; repay them for what they have done, give them what they deserve.

5 For they don't understand the deeds of ADONAI or what he has done. He will break them down; he will not build them up.

6 Blessed be ADONAI, for he heard my voice as I prayed for mercy.

7 ADONAI is my strength and shield; in him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. Therefore my heart is filled with joy, and I will sing praises to him.

8 ADONAI is strength for [his people], a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Save your people! Bless your heritage! Shepherd them, and carry them forever!

King James Version KJV

1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to 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, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
