Psalms28

Psalm 28 opens with David's fervent cry to the LORD, his rock, imploring Him not to remain silent lest he be counted among the lost. He seeks divine justice against the wicked, who speak peace but harbor mischief, asking God to repay them according to their deeds. David then transitions to praise, blessing the LORD for hearing his supplications and proclaiming Him as his strength and shield. The psalm concludes with a petition for God to save, bless, and uplift His people forever.

A Cry for Deliverance and Judgment

1
By 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.
2
Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3
Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
4
Give 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.
5
For 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.

Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7
Jehovah is 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.

Prayer for the Salvation of God's People

Jehovah is strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed is He.

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