28:1 O Lord, I keep calling to you. My Rock, do not be deaf to me. If you remain silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit.
28:2 Hear the sound of my plea for mercy when I cry out to you, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
28:3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those evildoers. They speak peace to their neighbors but hide evil in their hearts.
28:4 Give to them what they have done to others. According to their evil actions, according to the deeds of their hands, punish them. Repay to them what they deserve.
28:5 Because they do not recognize the works of the Lord or the deeds of his hands, he will tear them down and not build them up.
28:6 Blessed be the Lord, because he has heard the sound of my plea for mercy.
28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield. In him my heart trusts, and I am helped. My heart also celebrates. With my song I will give thanks to him.
28:8 The Lord is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed king.
28:9 Save your people, and bless the people that belong to you. Shepherd them, and carry them forever.
