CHAPTER 28
Of David.
To You,
O LORD,
I call;
be not
deaf
to me,
O my rock.
For if
You remain silent,
I will be like
those
descending
to the Pit.
Hear
my cry
for mercy
when I call
to You for help,
when I lift up
my hands
toward
Your holy
sanctuary.
Do not
drag me away
with
the wicked,
and with
the workers
of iniquity,
who speak
peace
to
their neighbors
while malice
is in their hearts.
Repay
them
according to their deeds,
and for their works
of evil.
Repay
them
for what their hands
have done;
bring back
on them
what they deserve.
Since
they show no
regard
for the works
of the LORD
or
what His hands
have done,
He will tear them down
and never
rebuild them.
The LORD
is my strength
and my shield;
my heart
trusts in Him,
and I am helped.
Therefore my heart
rejoices,
and I will thank Him
with my song.
