Psalm 28
ESV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.1Davidic. LORD, 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.
2Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.2Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.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.
4Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.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.
5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more.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.
6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.6May the LORD be praised, for He has heard the sound of my pleading.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I praise Him with my song.
8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.8The LORD is the strength of His people; He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.9Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.
