Book of Psalms, No. 28
No. 28 of the Psalms
my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if thou be silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the Pit.
as I cry to thee for help,
as I lift up my hands
towards thy most holy sanctuary.[a]
with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors,
while mischief is in their hearts.
and according to the evil of their deeds;
requite them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.
or the work of his hands,
he will break them down and build them up no more.
for he has heard the voice of my supplications.
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
be thou their shepherd, and carry them for ever.FOOTNOTES
