Psalm 28
NLT Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationInternational Standard Version
1I pray to you, O LORD, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.1To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit.
2Listen to my prayer for mercy as I cry out to you for help, as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
3Do not drag me away with the wicked— with those who do evil— those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts.3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts.
4Give them the punishment they so richly deserve! Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness. Pay them back for all their evil deeds! Give them a taste of what they have done to others.4Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve.
5They care nothing for what the LORD has done or for what his hands have made. So he will tear them down, and they will never be rebuilt!5Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up.
6Praise the LORD! For he has heard my cry for mercy.6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications.
7The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song.
8The LORD gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed.
9Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever!
