Psalm 28

Ps. 28:0   Of David	

Ps. 28:1  	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.

Ps. 28:2   Hear the voice of my supplications
			  when I cry to you for help, 
			as I lift up my hands
			  toward your Most Holy Place.	

Ps. 28:3   Do not drag me away with evil men,
		      with those who do wickedness,
			 who speak peace with their neighbors, 
		      while evil is in their hearts.

Ps. 28:4  Repay them according to their work and 						      according to the evil of their practices; 
		    Repay them according to the deeds of their 						  hands; 
		     bring back on them what they deserve.

Ps. 28:5   Because they do not consider the works of the 				        LORD,	
		     nor the deeds of his hands, 
		     he will tear them down and not build them up.

Ps. 28:6   Blessed be the LORD, 
			because he has heard the voice of my 								  supplication.
	
Ps. 28:7   The LORD is my strength and my shield; 
			My heart trusts in him, and I am helped; 
			my heart exults, 
			and with my song I shall praise him.

Ps. 28:8  The LORD is strength to them [Israel]
		     and a stronghold of defense to his anointed. 

Ps. 28:9  Save your people and bless your inheritance;
		     shepherd them and lift [and then carry] them 		       forever.
