28:1 By David . To you, O Lord , I cry out ! My protector , do not ignore me!

Pay them back for what they do ! Punish them ! 28:5 For they do not understand the Lord’s actions , or the way he carries out justice . The Lord will permanently demolish them. 28:6 The Lord deserves praise , for he has heard my plea for mercy ! 28:7 The Lord strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart .
