Shared Word Translation
Psalm 28
Of David.
To you, LORD, I call;
my rock, do not be deaf to me,
lest, if you are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the Pit.
Hear the voice of my pleas
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift my hands
toward your holy inner sanctuary.
Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who work iniquity,
who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
Give them according to their work,
according to the evil of their deeds;
according to the work of their hands, give to them;
return their recompense to them.
For they do not understand the works of the LORD
or the work of his hands.
He will tear them down
and not build them up.
Blessed be the LORD,
for he has heard the voice of my pleas.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart has trusted, and I have been helped.
My heart exults,
and with my song I will praise him.
The LORD is strength for them;
he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed one.
Save your people
and bless your inheritance;
shepherd them and carry them
forever.
