Psalms 28

1 “A psalm of David.” To thee do I cry, O LORD! O my rock! be not silent to me, Lest, if thou answer me not, I become like those who go down to 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 supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most 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 impious, and with evil-doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief 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 the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to 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 For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again 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 Praised be the LORD, for 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; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will 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 Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of 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; Feed them also, and build them up for ever!

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