Psalm 28

1 Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> To You, O YHWH, I call out. O my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest You be silent to me and I be likened with those descending to the Pit.

2 May You hear the voice of my supplications, in my crying out to You, in my lifting up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, those speaking peace with their neighbors, and evil [is] in their heart.

4 Give to them according to their doing, and according to the evil of their deeds! According to the work of their hands, give to them; return their dealing to them!

5 For they do not have regard toward the works of YHWH, and toward the deed of His hands; He shall overthrow them, and not rebuild them.

6 Blessed [be] YHWH, for He has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 YHWH [is] my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; so my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to Him.

8 YHWH [is] the strength for them; and He [is] a stronghold of salvation [for] His anointed.

9 May You save Your people and bless Your inheritance, and shepherd them and carry them, even to forever.
