Psalm 28

Vers 1

To thee I’ll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.

Vers 2

The voice hear of my humble pray’rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.

Vers 3

With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.

Vers 4

Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavoured:
And as their handy-works deserve,
to them be rendered.

Vers 5

God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The Lord’s own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.

Vers 6

For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petitions,
and prayers did regard.

Vers 7

The Lord’s my strength and shield; my heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,

Vers 8

And with my song I will him praise.
Their strength is God alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.

Vers 9

O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.
