Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou shouldst be silent to me, I should 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 to thee, when I lift my hands towards thy holy oracle.

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 to their neighbors, but 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 according to the wickedness of their endeavors: 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 regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will destroy them, 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; my heart trusted in him, 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] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength 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 thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

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