CHAPTER 28

Blessed be God because he listens to me
28:1-9

A Psalm of David.

1Unto 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.

Oh God, don't be silent when I cry to you,

or I might become like those who 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.

Listen to me when I cry to you,

when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle.

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.

Give wicked people the desert they deserve.

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.

You're going to destroy them.

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.

Blessed be God because he listens to me.
