Parallel
Psalms 28
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
To you, LORD, I call.
Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary (note: Or Your innermost sanctuary or Your Most Holy Place).
Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.
Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD,
Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
The LORD is my strength and my shield.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.
The LORD is their strength.
The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
Save your people,
Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
