Psalm 28
A Prayer for Help and
Praise for Its Answer |
|
1 |
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock;
|
be not silent to me: |
lest, if thou be silent to me, |
I become like them that go down into the
pit. |
|
|
2 |
Hear the voice of my supplications, when
I cry unto thee,
|
when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
|
|
|
3 |
Draw me not away with the wicked,
|
and with the workers of iniquity, |
which speak peace to their neighbors, |
but mischief is in their
hearts. |
|
|
4 |
Give them according to their deeds, Rev.
22.12
|
and according to the wickedness of their
endeavors: |
give them after the work of their hands; |
render to them their
desert. |
|
|
5 |
Because they regard not the works of the
LORD,
|
nor the operation of his hands, |
he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
|
|
|
6 |
Blessed be the LORD,
|
because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications. |
|
|
7 |
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
|
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: |
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; |
and with my song will I praise him.
|
|
|
8 |
The LORD is their strength,
|
and he is the saving strength of his
anointed. |
|
|
9 |
Save thy people, and bless thine
inheritance:
|
feed them also, and lift them up for
ever. |
