| Chapter 28 |
1 | By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit. |
2 | Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle. |
3 | Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart. |
4 | Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them. |
5 | For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up. |
6 | Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications. |
7 | Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him. |
8 | Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He. |
9 | Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age! |
