Chapter 28 |
| 1 | Unto thee will
I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I
become like them that go down into the pit. |
|
2 | Hear the voice of my
supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy
oracle. |
| 3 |
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their
hearts. |
| 4 |
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render
to them their desert. |
| 5 | Because they regard not the works of the
LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them
up. |
| 6 |
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications. |
|
7 | The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart
trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with
my song will I praise him. |
|
8 | The LORD is their strength, and he is
the saving strength of his anointed. |
| 9 | Save thy people, and bless
thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. |
