Psalm 28

The Message Bible MSG

1 Don't turn a deaf ear when I call you, God. If all I get from you is deafening silence, I'd be better off in the Black Hole.

2 I'm letting you know what I need, calling out for help And lifting my arms toward your inner sanctum.

3 Don't shove me into the same jail cell with those crooks, With those who are full-time employees of evil.

4 They talk a good line of "peace," then moonlight for the Devil. Pay them back for what they've done, for how bad they've been. Pay them back for their long hours in the Devil's workshop; Then cap it with a huge bonus.

5 Because they have no idea how God works or what he is up to, God will smash them to smithereens and walk away from the ruins.

6 Blessed be God - he heard me praying.

7 He proved he's on my side; I've thrown my lot in with him. Now I'm jumping for joy, and shouting and singing my thanks to him.

8 God is all strength for his people, ample refuge for his chosen leader;

9 Save your people and bless your heritage. Care for them; carry them like a good shepherd.

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

4 Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.

5 For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

8 Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.

9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
