Psalm 28 (WEBP)

[1] To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
[2] Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
[3] Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
[4] Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
[5] Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
[6] Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
[7] Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
[8] Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
[9] Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 28 (YLT)

[1] Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
[2] Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
[3] Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
[4] Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.
[5] For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
[6] Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
[7] Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.
[8] Jehovah is strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed is He.
[9] Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
