Psalm 28

By David.

1To you, ForeverOne, I call. My rock, don't be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

3Don't draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

5Because they don't respect the works of ForeverOne, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

6Blessed be ForeverOne, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

7ForeverOne is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

8ForeverOne is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
