Psalm 28
28
The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield
Of David.
1To you, O Lord, I call;
# See Ps. 18:2 my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you #Ps. 35:22; 39:12; 83:1; 109:1 be silent to me,
I become like those who #Ps. 88:4; 143:7go down to the pit.
2 #
Ps. 140:6 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I #Ps. 134:2; 141:2; Lam. 2:19; 1 Tim. 2:8; [Ps. 119:48] lift up my hands
#
Ps. 5:7; 138:2; [1 Kgs. 8:29] toward your most holy sanctuary.#28:2 Hebrew your innermost sanctuary
3Do not #[Ps. 26:9; Ezek. 32:20] drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
#
Jer. 9:8; [Ps. 5:9; 12:2; 55:21; 62:4] who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
4 #
Jer. 50:15, 29; Rev. 18:6; [2 Tim. 4:14] Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
# [Ps. 137:8] render them their due reward.
5Because they #Isa. 5:12; [Job 34:27]do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.
6Blessed be the Lord!
For he has #ver. 2heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7The Lord is my strength and #See Ps. 3:3 my shield;
in him my heart #See Ps. 11:1 trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my #Ps. 69:30song I give thanks to him.
8The Lord is the strength of his people;#28:8 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts is their strength
he is #Ps. 140:7; [Ps. 20:6]the saving refuge of his anointed.
9Oh, save your people and bless #Deut. 9:29; 32:9 your heritage!
#
Ps. 78:71, 72 Be their shepherd and #Isa. 40:11; 46:3; 63:9carry them forever.
