Psalm 28
CSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1LORD, I call to you; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If you remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit.1I pray to you, O LORD, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.
2Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy sanctuary.2Listen to my prayer for mercy as I cry out to you for help, as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with the evildoers, who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.3Do not drag me away with the wicked— with those who do evil— those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts.
4Repay them according to what they have done--according to the evil of their deeds. Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back what they deserve.4Give them the punishment they so richly deserve! Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness. Pay them back for all their evil deeds! Give them a taste of what they have done to others.
5Because they do not consider what the LORD has done or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and not rebuild them.5They care nothing for what the LORD has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt!
6Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard the sound of my pleading.6Praise the LORD! For he has heard my cry for mercy.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart celebrates, and I give thanks to him with my song.7The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.8The LORD gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.
9Save your people, bless your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.9Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.
