Psalms 28

1Unto 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.

1By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

1Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

2Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

3Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

3Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

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

4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.

5Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

5For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

5Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

6Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

6Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

6Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7The 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.

7Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

7Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

8The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

8Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed <FI>is<Fi> He.

8Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

9Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!

9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever.
