Psalm 28 Ad te, Domine
1 O LORD, I call to you; my Rock, do not be deaf to my cry; *
lest, if you do not hear me, I become like those who go down to the Pit.
2 Hear the voice of my prayer when I cry out to you, *
when I lift up my hands to your ho-ly of ho-lies.
3 Do not snatch me away with the wicked or with the ev-il-do-ers, *
who speak peaceably with their neighbors, while strife is in their hearts.
4 Repay them according to their deeds, *
and according to the wickedness of their ac-tions.
5 According to the work of their hands re-pay them, *
and give them their just de-serts.
6 They have no understanding of the LORD’S doings, nor of the works of his hands; *
therefore he will break them down and not build them up.
7 Blessed is the LORD! *
for he has heard the voice of my prayer.
8 The LORD is my strength and my shield; *
my heart trusts in him, and I have been helped;
9 Therefore my heart dan-ces for joy, *
and in my song will I praise him.
10 The LORD is the strength of her peo-ple, *
a safe refuge for her a-noin-ted.
11 Save your people and bless your in-her-itance; *
shepherd them and carry them for ev-er.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
