28:1 A song of David. Lord, you are my Rock. I am calling to you for help. Don’t close your ears to my prayers. If you don’t answer me, I will be counted among the dead.
28:2 I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place. Hear me when I call to you. Show mercy to me.
28:3 Don’t treat me like the evil people who do wicked things. They greet their neighbors like friends, but secretly plan to hurt them.
28:4 They do bad things to others, so make bad things happen to them. Give them the punishment they deserve.
28:5 They don’t notice what the Lord does. They ignore all the good things he has made. So instead of building them up, he will destroy them.
28:6 Praise the Lord! He has heard my prayer for mercy.
28:7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trusted him with all my heart. He helped me, so I am happy. I sing songs of praise to him.
28:8 The Lord protects his chosen one. He saves him and gives him strength.
28:9 Save your people. Bless those who belong to you. Lead them and honor them forever.
