28A Psalm of David 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 Lordis 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 Lordis∥ 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. [† ] Heb. from me. [* ] Ps. 143. 7. [∥ ] Or, towards the oracle of thy sanctuary. [* ] Ps. 12. 2. Jer. 9. 8. [∥ ] Or, his strength [† ] Heb strength of salvations. [∥ ] Or, rule. |
