AB - Psalms - 28

28:1  To You, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me; lest You be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

28:2  Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to You, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy temple.

28:3  Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evil are in their hearts.

28:4  Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.

28:5  Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of His hands, You shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.

28:6  Blessed be the Lord, for He has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

28:7  The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in Him, and I am helped; my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to Him.

28:8  The Lord is the strength of His people, and the saving defender of His anointed.

28:9  Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance; and take care of them, and lift them up forever.
