King James VersionPsalms28

Psalms

1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I be­come like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my sup­pli­ca­tions, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands to­ward thy holy or­a­cle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the work­ers of in­iq­ui­ty, which speak peace to their neigh­bours, but mis­chief is in their hearts.
4 Give them ac­cord­ing to their deeds, and ac­cord­ing to the wicked­ness of their en­deav­ours: give them af­ter the work of their hands; ren­der to them their desert.
5 Be­cause they re­gard not the works of the LORD, nor the op­er­a­tion of his hands, he shall de­stroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD, be­cause he hath heard the voice of my sup­pli­ca­tions.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trust­ed in him, and I am helped: there­fore my heart great­ly re­joiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the sav­ing strength of his anoint­ed.
9 Save thy peo­ple, and bless thine in­her­i­tance: feed them al­so, and lift them up for ev­er.
