Psalms 28

The LORD Is My Strength

Of David.

1Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

2Do 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.

3Repay 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.

4Since 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.

5Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

6The 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.

7The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

8Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
