Psalms 28:1-4

¹A Psalm of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

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

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

⁴Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.
