Psalms 28

1Unto 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.

לְדָוִד אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה ׀ אֶקְרָא צוּרִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ מִמֶּנִּי פֶּן־תֶּחֱשֶׁה מִמֶּנִּי וְנִמְשַׁלְתִּי עִם־יֹורְדֵי בֹור׃ (4185)

2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

שְׁמַע קֹול תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶיךָ בְּנָשְׂאִי יָדַי אֶל־דְּבִיר קָדְשֶׁךָ׃ (2577)

3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵנִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים וְעִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּבְרֵי לֹום עִם־רֵעֵיהֶם וְרָעָה בִּלְבָבָם׃ (3028)

4Give 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.

תֶּן־לָהֶם כְּפָעֳלָם וּכְרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם תֵּן לָהֶם הָשֵׁב גְּמוּלָם לָהֶם׃ (2816)

5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

כִּי לֹא יָבִינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּת יְהוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יֶהֶרְסֵם וְלֹא יִבְנֵם׃ (1712)

6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה כִּישָׁ־מַע קֹול תַּחֲנוּנָי׃ (1354)

7The 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.

יְהוָה ׀ עֻזִּי וּמָגִנִּי בֹּו בָטַח לִבִּי וְנֶעֱזָרְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹז לִבִּי וּמִשִּׁירִי אֲהֹודֶנּוּ׃ (1837)

8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

יְהוָה עֹז־לָמֹו וּמָעֹוז יְשׁוּעֹות מְשִׁיחֹו הוּא׃ (1476)

9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

הֹושִׁיעָה ׀ אֶת־עַמֶּךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶךָ וּרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂאֵם עַד־הָעֹולָם׃ (3002)
