Psalms 28 {Davidic{ To You, O Yahweh, am I calling out; My Rock, O do not turn from me in silence. Lest, if You should hush to me, I would become comparable with descenders to the crypt."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {Davidic{ To You, O Yahweh, am I calling out; My Rock, O do not turn from me in silence. Lest, if You should hush to me, I would become comparable with descenders to the crypt." ² Hear the voice of my supplications When I implore to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your Innermost Sanctuary." ³ O do not draw me away with the wicked Or with contrivers of lawlessness, Those speaking peace with their associates But evil in their heart." ⁴ Give to them according to their contriving And according to the evil of their actions; According to the work of their hands, give to them; Reverse their dealing upon them." ⁵ For they do not understand Yahweh's wise deeds Or the work of His hands. He shall pull them down and not build them up again. ⁶ Blessed be Yahweh, For He has heard the voice of my supplications." ⁷ Yahweh is my Strength and my Shield; In Him has my heart trusted, And I have been helped So that my heart is joyous, And with my song am I acclaiming Him." ⁸ Yahweh is the Strength of His people, And He is the Stronghold of salvation for His anointed." ⁹ Do save Your people, And bless Your allotment; Shepherd them, And lift them up for the eon."
