Psalm 28

Ad te, Domine

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 11 verses

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Repay them according to their deeds, *
    and according to the wickedness of their actions.

  5. 5

    According to the work of their hands repay them, *
    and give them their just deserts.

  6. 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. 7

    Blessed is the LORD! *
    for he has heard the voice of my prayer.

  8. 8

    The LORD is my strength and my shield; *
    my heart trusts in him, and I have been helped;

  9. 9

    Therefore my heart dances for joy, *
    and in my song will I praise him.

  10. 10

    The LORD is the strength of his people, *
    a safe refuge for his anointed.

  11. 11

    Save your people and bless your inheritance; *
    shepherd them and carry them for ever.
