The Book of Psalms, Chapter 28
|
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.
