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

¹ To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit. ² Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.

³ Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts. ⁴ Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve. ⁵ Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up.

⁶ Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications. ⁷ The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song.

⁸ The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed. ⁹ Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever! A Davidic Psalm.

¹ Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings; ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
