Psa 28:1
Of David.
To You, O Yahweh H3068, I call H7121;
My rock H6697, do not be H2790 silent H2790 to me,
Lest H6435 if You are hesitant H2814 toward me,
I will become H4911 like H4911 those who go H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
Psa 28:2
Hear H8085 the voice H6963 of my supplications H8469 when I cry H7768 to You for H7768 help H7768,
When I lift H5375 up H5375 my hands H3027 toward H413 [fn]Your holy H6944 sanctuary H1687.
Psa 28:3
Do not drag H4900 me away H4900 with the wicked H7563
And with workers H6466 of iniquity H205,
Who speak H1696 peace H7965 with their neighbors H7453,
While evil H7451 is in their hearts H3824.
Psa 28:4
Give H5414 to them according to their work H6467 and according to the evil H7455 of their actions H4611;
Give H5414 to them according to the deeds H4639 of their hands H3027;
Return H7725 their dealings H1576 upon them.
Psa 28:5
Because H3588 they do not regard H995 the works H6468 of Yahweh H3068
Nor H3808 the deeds H4639 of His hands H3027,
He will tear H2040 them down H2040 and not build H1129 them up H1129.
Psa 28:6
Blessed H1288 be Yahweh H3068,
Because H3588 He has heard H8085 the voice H6963 of my supplications H8469.
Psa 28:7
Yahweh H3068 is my strength H5797 and my shield H4043;
My heart H3820 trusts H982 in Him, and I am helped H5826;
Therefore my heart H3820 exults H5937,
And with my song H7892 I shall thank H3034 Him.
Psa 28:8
Yahweh H3068 is [fn]their strength H5797,
And He is a [fn]strong H4581 defense H4581 of salvation H3444 to His anointed H4899.
Psa 28:9
Save H3467 Your people H5971 and bless H1288 Your inheritance H5159;
Be their shepherd H7462 also, and carry H5375 them forever H5704 H5769.
