Psalms 28

1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; my Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.

Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; who speak peace with their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.

5 Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.

For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield, in Him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, and with my song will I praise Him.

The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.

8 The LORD is a strength unto them; and He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.

The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.

9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; and tend them, and carry them for ever.

Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
