Psalms 28
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Berean Standard Bible
1A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; my Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1To 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.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.
2Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; who speak peace with their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
3Do 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.
4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
4Repay 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.
5Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.
5Since 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.
6Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield, in Him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, and with my song will I praise Him.
7The 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.
8The LORD is a strength unto them; and He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
9Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; and tend them, and carry them for ever.
9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
