Psalm 28:1-Psalm 29:1 - My Strength

¹ Davidic.Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.
² Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary.

³ Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.
⁴ Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.
⁵ Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

⁶ May the Lord be praised,
for He has heard the sound of my pleading.
⁷ The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart rejoices,
and I praise Him with my song.

⁸ The Lord is the strength of His people;
He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
⁹ Save Your people, bless Your possession,
shepherd them, and carry them forever.

¹ A Davidic psalm.Ascribe to Yahweh, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
