Psalms 28:1-5

28:1

<
<[A Psalm] of David <01732>.>>

Unto thee will I cry
<07121> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

my rock
<06697>_;

be not silent
<02814> (8799)

to me: lest, [if] thou be silent
<02790> (8799)

to me, I become
<04911> (8738)

like them that go down
<03381> (8802)

into the pit
<0953>_.

{to me: Heb. from me}

28:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the voice
<06963>

of my supplications
<08469>_,

when I cry
<07768> (8763)

unto thee, when I lift up
<05375> (8800)

my hands
<03027>

toward thy holy
<06944>

oracle
<01687>_.

{thy...: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary}

28:3

Draw me not away
<04900> (8799)

with the wicked
<07563>_,

and with the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_,

which speak
<01696> (8802)

peace
<07965>

to their neighbours
<07453>_,

but mischief
<07451>

[is] in their hearts
<03824>_.

28:4

Give
<05414> (8798)

them according to their deeds
<06467>_,

and according to the wickedness
<07455>

of their endeavours
<04611>_:

give
<05414> (8798)

them after the work
<04639>

of their hands
<03027>_;

render
<07725> (8685)

to them their desert
<01576>_.

28:5

Because they regard
<0995> (8799)

not the works
<06468>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

nor the operation
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

he shall destroy
<02040> (8799)

them, and not build them up
<01129> (8799)_.
