Psalm 28

New Living Translation NLT

1 I pray to you, O LORD, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.

2 Listen to my prayer for mercy as I cry out to you for help, as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked— with those who do evil— those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts.

4 Give them the punishment they so richly deserve! Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness. Pay them back for all their evil deeds! Give them a taste of what they have done to others.

5 They care nothing for what the LORD has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt!

6 Praise the LORD ! For he has heard my cry for mercy.

7 The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

8 The LORD gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.

9 Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.

2 Listen to my request for mercy when I cry out to you, when I lift up my hands to your holy inner sanctuary.

3 Don't drag me off with the wicked and those who do evil; the type who talk nice to their friends while evil thoughts are in their hearts!

4 Pay them back for what they've done! Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for their handiwork! Give back to them exactly what they deserve!

5 Because they have no regard for what the LORD has done, no regard for his handiwork, God will tear them down and never rebuild!

6 Bless the LORD because he has listened to my request for mercy!
