28 Unto
thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be
silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2 Hear
the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my
hands toward thy holy oracle. 3 Draw
me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak
peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 4 Give
them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their
endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their
desert.
5
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his
hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 6 Blessed
be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7 The
LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8 The
LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9 Save
thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up
for ever.
