Psalm 28
ISV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNET Bible
1To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit. 1By David. To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave.
2Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!
3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who practice iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while harboring evil in their hearts.3Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!
4Reward them according to their deeds; according to the evil of their actions. Reward them based on what they do; give them what they deserve.4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them!
5Because they do not understand the deeds of the LORD or the work of his hands, He will tear them down and never build them up.5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them.
6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the sound of my supplications.6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy!
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I received help. My heart rejoices, and I give thanks to him with my song.7The LORD strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude.
8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a refuge of deliverance for his anointed.8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.
9Deliver your people and bless your inheritance! Shepherd them and lift them up forever!9Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times!
