Psalm 28
NET Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleEnglish Standard Version
1By David. To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave. 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.
2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple! 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.
3Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them! 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.
4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them! 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.
5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them. 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.
6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy! 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7The LORD strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude. 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.
8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king. 8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times! 9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
