The words of the Bible

Psalm 28

David asks God that apart from the wicked and praises him for having heard his supplications Psalm of David

1 I cry unto thee, O Lord; My rock, do not emudeças to me; lest, keep silent about me, I become like those who descend into the pit.

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

3 Draw me not away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give them after the work of their hands; render to them what they deserve.

5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, not for what their hands have done, he shall destroy them and not build them up

6 Blessed be the Lord, because he 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 rejoices, and with my song will I praise him.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving strength for his anointed.

9 Save your people and bless thine inheritance; feed them and lift them up forever.
