Psalms 28

1 to/for David to(wards) you LORD to call: call to rock my not be quiet from me lest be silent from me and to liken with to go down pit

A psalm of David. To you, Yahweh, I cry out; my rock, do not ignore me. If you do not respond to me, I will join those who go down to the grave.

Hear the sound of my pleading when I call for help from you, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy place!

3 not to draw me with wicked and with to work evil: wickedness to speak: speak peace with neighbor their and distress: evil in/on/with heart their

Do not drag me away with the wicked, those who do iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors but have evil in their hearts.

4 to give: give to/for them like/as work their and like/as evil deed their like/as deed: work hand their to give: give to/for them to return: pay recompense their to/for them

Give them what their deeds deserve and repay them what their wickedness demands, repay them for the work of their hands and render to them their due.

5 for not to understand to(wards) wages LORD and to(wards) deed: work hand his to overthrow them and not to build them

Because they do not understand the deeds of Yahweh or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and never rebuild them.

Blessed be Yahweh because he has heard the sound of my pleading!

Yahweh is the strength of his people, and he is the saving refuge of his anointed one.
