Psalms 28

1 Of David to you O Yahweh - I call out O rock my may not you be deaf from me lest you should be silent from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down [the] pit.

A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2 Hear [the] sound of supplications my when cry for help I to you when lift up I hands my to [the] innermost room of holiness your.

Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

3 May not you drag away me with wicked [people] and with [those who] do wickedness [who] speak peace with neighbors their and evil [is] in heart their.

Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.

4 Requite to them according to work their and according to [the] wickedness of deeds their according to [the] work of hands their requite to them repay recompense their to them.

Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.

5 For not they consider [the] deeds of Yahweh and to [the] work of hands his he will tear down them and not he will rebuild them.

Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

6 [be] blessed Yahweh for he has heard [the] sound of supplications my.

Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

7 Yahweh - [is] strength my and shield my in him it has trusted heart my and I was helped and it exulted heart my and from song my I will give thanks to him.

The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.

8 Yahweh [is] strength of them and [is] [the] refuge of [the] salvation of anointed his he.

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

9 Save! - people your and bless inheritance your and shepherd them and carry them until perpetuity.

Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
