Psalm 28

New Century Version NCV

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.

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.

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

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

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!
