Psalm 28
Ad te, Domine
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 11 verses
- 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 holy of holies. - 3
Do not snatch me away with the wicked or with the evildoers, *
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 actions. - 5
According to the work of their hands repay them, *
and give them their just deserts. - 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 dances for joy, *
and in my song will I praise him. - 10
The LORD is the strength of his people, *
a safe refuge for his anointed. - 11
Save your people and bless your inheritance; *
shepherd them and carry them for ever.
