Psalms 28 A Psalm of David. To thee, Lord, I have cried: O my God, pass me not by in silence. Shouldst thou pass me by in silence: I shall be like them who go down to the pit.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of David. To thee, Lord, I have cried: O my God, pass me not by in silence. Shouldst thou pass me by in silence: I shall be like them who go down to the pit. ² Hear the sound of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple. ³ Draw not my soul in with sinners; nor destroy me with the workers of iniquity; with them who speak peace to their neighbours and harbour mischief in their hearts. ⁴ Give them according to their deeds; and according to the wickedness of their devices. According to the works of their hands give them; retribute to them their deserts. ⁵ Because they did not regard the works of the Lord; nor the operations of his hands: thou wilt utterly destroy them and not build them up again. ⁶ Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my prayer. ⁷ The Lord is my helper and my protector: on him my heart relied, and I am helped. My flesh also is revived, that with cheerfulness I may praise him. ⁸ The Lord is the strength of his people; and the safeguard of his anointed. ⁹ Save thy people and bless thine inheritance; feed them also and lift them up forever.
