Psalm 28
Brenton's Septuagint Translation Par ▾ 

The LORD Is My Strength

1(27:1) A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

2(27:2) Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.

3(27:3) Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.

4(27:4) Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.

5(27:5) Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.

6(27:6) Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

7(27:7) The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

8(27:8) The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

9(27:9) Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
