28:1 Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

28:4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.

28:5 Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

28:6 Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

28:7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

28:8 Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
