Psalms 28

1 BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.

3 Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.

4 Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.

5 For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.

8 YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.

9 Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
