Psalm 28 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield

Psa 28:1

Of David.

To You, O Yahweh, I call;

My rock, do not be silent to me,

Lest if You are hesitant toward me,

I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Psa 28:2

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,

When I lift up my hands toward [fn]Your holy sanctuary.

Psa 28:3

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with workers of iniquity,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While evil is in their hearts.

Psa 28:4

Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their actions;

Give to them according to the deeds of their hands;

Return their dealings upon them.

Psa 28:5

Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.

Psa 28:6

Blessed be Yahweh,

Because He has heard the voice of my supplications.

Psa 28:7

Yahweh is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart exults,

And with my song I shall thank Him.

Psa 28:8

Yahweh is [fn]their strength,

And He is a [fn]strong defense of salvation to His anointed.

Psa 28:9

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;

Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
