| Chapter 28 |
1 |
A Psalm of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou shouldst be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit. -
|
2 |
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to thee, when I lift my hands towards thy holy oracle. -
|
3 |
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. -
|
4 |
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. -
|
5 |
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will destroy them, and not build them up. -
|
6 |
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. -
|
7 |
The 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. -
|
8 |
The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. -
|
9 |
Save thy people, and bless thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. -
