New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 28
1
I pray to you, O LORD, my rock.<br>Do not turn a deaf ear to me.<br>For if you are silent,<br>I might as well give up and die.<br>
2
Listen to my prayer for mercy<br>as I cry out to you for help,<br>as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.<br>
3
Do not drag me away with the wicked —<br>with those who do evil —<br>those who speak friendly words to their neighbors<br>while planning evil in their hearts.<br>
4
Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!<br>Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness.<br>Pay them back for all their evil deeds!<br>Give them a taste of what they have done to others.<br>
5
They care nothing for what the LORD has done<br>or for what his hands have made.<br>So he will tear them down,<br>and they will never be rebuilt!<br>
6
Praise the LORD!<br>For he has heard my cry for mercy.<br>
7
The LORD is my strength and shield.<br>I trust him with all my heart.<br>He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.<br>I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.<br>
8
The LORD gives his people strength.<br>He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.<br>
9
Save your people!<br>Bless Israel, your special possession.<br>Lead them like a shepherd,<br>and carry them in your arms forever.<br>
