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.

Psalm 28
28
1 A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.
2 Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.
5 The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.
6 And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.
7 The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.
10 The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.
11 The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
