# Chapter 28
|
|
1 Lord, I call to you;
|
|
my rock, do not be deaf to me.
|
|
If you remain silent to me,
|
|
I will be like those going down to the Pit.
|
|
2 Listen to the sound of my pleading
|
|
when I cry to you for help,
|
|
when I lift up my hands
|
|
toward your holy sanctuary.
|
|
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
|
|
with the evildoers,
|
|
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
|
|
while malice is in their hearts.
|
|
4 Repay them according to what they have done—
|
|
according to the evil of their deeds.
|
|
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
|
|
give them back what they deserve.
|
|
5 Because they do not consider
|
|
what the Lord has done
|
|
or the work of his hands,
|
|
he will tear them down and not rebuild them.
|
|
6 Blessed be the Lord,
|
|
for he has heard the sound of my pleading.
|
|
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
|
|
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
|
|
Therefore my heart celebrates,
|
|
and I give thanks to him with my song.
|
|
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;
|
|
he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.
|
|
9 Save your people, bless your possession,
|
|
shepherd them, and carry them forever. |
