Psalms 28:4-9

⁴Give them what their deeds deserve and repay them what their wickedness demands, repay them for the work of their hands and render to them their due.

⁵Because they do not understand the deeds of Yahweh or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and never rebuild them.

⁶Blessed be Yahweh because he has heard the sound of my pleading!

⁷Yahweh is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and I will praise him with singing.

⁸Yahweh is the strength of his people, and he is the saving refuge of his anointed one.

⁹Save your people and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
