Psalm 28
ESV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNew International Version
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.1Of David. To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go 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.2Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
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 those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice 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 for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them 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 have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.6Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
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 he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.8The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.9Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
