Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 28 Psalm 28 (Listen) The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield Of David. 28 To you, O LORD, I call;<br /> my rock, be not deaf to me,<br /> lest, if you be silent to me,<br /> I become like those who go down to the pit.<br />2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,<br /> when I cry to you for help,<br /> when I lift up my hands<br /> toward your most holy sanctuary.1<br /> 3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,<br /> with the workers of evil,<br /> who speak peace with their neighbors<br /> while evil is in their hearts.<br />4 Give to them according to their work<br /> and according to the evil of their deeds;<br /> give to them according to the work of their hands;<br /> render them their due reward.<br />5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD<br /> or the work of his hands,<br /> he will tear them down and build them up no more.<br />
