Psalm 28 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

A Prayer for Help, and Praise for Its Answer.

Psa 28:1

A Psalm of David.

To You, LORD, I call;

My rock, do not be deaf to me,

For if You are silent to me,

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

Psa 28:2

Hear the sound of my pleadings when I cry to You for help,

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

Psa 28:3

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with those who practice injustice,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While evil is in their hearts.

Psa 28:4

Give back to them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;

Give back to them according to the work of their hands;

Repay them what is due them.

Psa 28:5

Because they do not regard the works of the LORD

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.

Psa 28:6

Blessed be the LORD,

Because He has heard the sound of my pleading.

Psa 28:7

The LORD is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart triumphs,

And with my song I shall thank Him.

Psa 28:8

The LORD is [fn]their strength,

And He is a refuge of salvation to His anointed.

Psa 28:9

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;

Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
