The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Psalms 028
By David.
1 To you, Yahweh, 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.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry
to you, when I lift up my hands toward your
Most Holy Place.
3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who
speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give 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.
5 Because they don’t respect the works of
Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them downand not build
them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my
petitions.
7 Yahweh 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.
8 Yahweh is their strength.He is a
stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
