- 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.
