Psalms 28:5-8

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.

I am rescued and my heart is full of joy;

I will sing to him in gratitude.

28:8 The Lord strengthens his people;

he protects and delivers his chosen king.
