Psalms 28

New International Version (NIV 11)

Switch Version:

¹ Of David. To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.

² Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

³ Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.

⁴ Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.

⁵ Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.

⁶ Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

⁷ The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

⁸ The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

⁹ Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
