Psalms 28 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 1. |
To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don't be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit. |
| 2. |
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. |
| 3. |
Don't draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. |
| 4. |
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve. |
| 5. |
Because they don't respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up. |
| 6. |
Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions. |
| 7. |
Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him. |
| 8. |
Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. |
| 9. |
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever. A Psalm by David. |
