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
A Prayer for Help, and Praise for Its Answer.
A Psalm of David.
1To You, Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.
2Hear the sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help,
When I raise my hands toward #28:2 Lit the innermost place of Your sanctuaryYour holy sanctuary.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who practice injustice,
Who speak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.
4Give back to them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;
Give back to them according to the work of their hands;
Repay them what is due them.
5Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.
6¶Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the sound of my pleading.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart triumphs,
And with my song I shall thank Him.
8The Lord is #28:8 A few mss and ancient versions the strength of His peopletheir strength,
And He is a refuge of salvation to His anointed.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;
Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
