Tehillim (Psa) 28

1By 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.

2Hear the sound of my prayers

when I cry to you,

when I lift my hands

toward your holy sanctuary.

3Don’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.

4Pay them back for their deeds,

as befits their evil acts;

repay them for what they have done,

give them what they deserve.

5For they don’t understand the deeds of Adonai

or what he has done.

He will break them down;

he will not build them up.

6Blessed be Adonai,

for he heard my voice as I prayed for mercy.

7Adonai 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.

8Adonai is strength for [his people],

a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9Save your people! Bless your heritage!

Shepherd them, and carry them forever!
