- Chapter 28 -

The Lord is my strength

1
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.
2
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
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
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
Because they do not understand the deeds of Yahweh or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and never rebuild them.
6
Blessed be Yahweh because he has heard the sound of my pleading!
7
Yahweh is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore, my heart greatly rejoices, and I will praise him with singing.
8
Yahweh is the strength of his people, and he is the saving refuge of his anointed one.
9
Save your people and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

The Lord is my strength

1
To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3
Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5
Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8
The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
