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.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Psalm 28 (KJVS)

[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 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.
