Psalm 28 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Blessed^H1288 be Yahweh^H3068,

Because^H3588 He has heard^H8085 the voice^H6963 of my supplications^H8469.

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.

Yahweh^H3068 is [fn]their strength^H5797,

And He is a [fn]strong^H4581 defense^H4581 of salvation^H3444 to His anointed^H4899.

Save^H3467 Your people^H5971 and bless^H1288 Your inheritance^H5159;

Be their shepherd^H7462 also, and carry^H5375 them forever^H5704^H5769.

Lit the innermost place of Your sanctuary

A few mss and ancient versions the strength of His people

Or refuge of salvation
