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
The Lord Is My Strength
Of David.
1To You, O Lord, I call;
be not deaf to me, O my Rock.
For if You remain silent,
I will be like those descending to the Pit.
2Hear my cry for mercy
when I call to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary.#28:2 Or Your innermost sanctuary or Your Most Holy Place
3Do not drag me away with the wicked,
and with the workers of iniquity,
who speak peace to their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.
4Repay them according to their deeds
and for their works of evil.
Repay them for what their hands have done;
bring back on them what they deserve.
5Since they show no regard for the works of the Lord
or what His hands have done,
He will tear them down
and never rebuild them.
6Blessed be the Lord,
for He has heard my cry for mercy.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I give thanks to Him with my song.
8The Lord is the strength of His people,
a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;
shepherd them and carry them forever.
