PSALM 28
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.
2The voice hear of my humble pray'rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.
3With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.
4Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavoured:
And as their handy-works deserve,
to them be rendered.
5God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The Lord's own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.
6For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petitions,
and prayers did regard.
7The Lord's my strength and shield; my heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,
And with my song I will him praise.
8Their strength is God alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.
9O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.

Psalms 28
28
Rejoicing in Answered Prayer
A Psalm of David.
1To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
#Ps. 35:22; 39:12; 83:1Do not be silent to me,
#Ps. 88:4; 143:7; Prov. 1:12Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
#Ps. 5:7When I lift up my hands #Ps. 138:2toward Your holy sanctuary.
3Do not take me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
#Ps. 12:2; 55:21; 62:4; Jer. 9:8Who speak peace to their neighbors,
But evil is in their hearts.
4#(Ps. 62:12); 2 Tim. 4:14; (Rev. 18:6; 22:12)Give them according to their deeds,
And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
Give them according to the work of their hands;
Render to them what they deserve.
5Because #Is. 5:12they do not regard the works of the Lord,
Nor the operation of His hands,
He shall destroy them
And not build them up.
6Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7The Lord is #Ps. 18:2; 59:17my strength and my shield;
My heart #Ps. 13:5; 112:7trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
8The Lord is their strength,
And He is the #Ps. 20:6saving refuge of His anointed.
9Save Your people,
And bless #(Deut. 9:29; 32:9; 1 Kin. 8:51; Ps. 33:12); 106:40Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
#Deut. 1:31; Is. 63:9And bear them up forever.
