Psalm 28
New International Version

### Psalm 28

#### Of David.

1 To you,Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear(A)to me.
For if you remain silent,(B)
I will be like those who go down to the pit.(C)
2 Hear my cry for mercy(D)
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands(E)
toward your Most Holy Place.(F)

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.(G)
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(H)
and bring back on them what they deserve.(I)

5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of theLord
and what his hands have done,(J)
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.

6 Praise be to theLord,(K)
for he has heard my cry for mercy.(L)
7 TheLordis my strength(M)and my shield;
my heart trusts(N)in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,(O)
and with my song I praise him.(P)

8 TheLordis the strength(Q)of his people,
a fortress of salvation(R)for his anointed one.(S)
9 Save your people(T)and bless your inheritance;(U)
be their shepherd(V)and carry them(W)forever.
