Psalms 28:2-8

²Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most holy sanctuary!

³Draw me not away with the impious, and with evil-doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts!

⁴Give them according to their deeds, and the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them their desert!

⁵For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again build them up.

⁶Praised be the LORD, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications!

⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will praise him.

⁸Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of his anointed.
