Psalm 28
Only you, LORD, are a mighty rock! Don’t refuse to help me when I pray. If you don’t answer me, I will soon be dead.
Please listen to my prayer and my cry for help, as I lift my hands toward your holy temple. Don’t drag me away, LORD, with those cruel people, who speak kind words, while planning trouble. Treat them as they deserve! Punish them for their sins. They don’t pay any attention to your wonderful deeds. Now you will destroy them and leave them in ruin.
I praise you, LORD, for answering my prayers. You are my strong shield, and I trust you completely. You have helped me, and I will celebrate and thank you in song.
You give strength to your people, LORD, and you save and protect your chosen ones. Come save us and bless us. Be our shepherd and always carry us in your arms.
