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
My Strength
Davidic.
1Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me. # Ps 83:1
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit. # Ps 88:4; 143:7
2Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary. # Ps 28:2; 134:2; 141:2; 1Tm 2:8
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts. # Ps 26:9-10
4Repay them according to what they have done —
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve. # Jr 50:29; Rv 18:6; 22:12
5Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them. # Jb 34:26-28; Is 5:12
6May the Lord be praised,
for He has heard the sound of my pleading. # Ps 31:22
7The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. # Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 3:3; 5:12; 18:2; 119:114
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song. # Ps 59:17; 69:30
8The Lord is the strength of His people; # Some Hb mss, LXX, Syr; other Hb mss read strength for them
He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed. # Ps 20:6; 27:1
9Save Your people, bless Your possession,
shepherd them, and carry them forever. # Ps 33:12; Is 40:11
