A Cry for Deliverance and Judgment

Psalms 28:1-5

By David: ADONAI, I am calling to you; my Rock, don't be deaf to my cry. For if you answer me with silence, I will be like those who fall in a pit.

Hear the sound of my prayers when I cry to you, when I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those whose deeds are evil; they speak words of peace to their fellowmen, but evil is in their hearts.

Pay them back for their deeds, as befits their evil acts; repay them for what they have done, give them what they deserve.

For they don't understand the deeds of ADONAI or what he has done. He will break them down; he will not build them up.
