The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield
28A Psalm of David. I will cry to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
2
Hear the voice of my prayers, when I cry to You, when I lift up my hands toward Your Holy Place.
3
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts.
4
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their practices, give them according to the work of their hands; give them what they deserve.
5
Because they do not pay attention to the works of Jehovah and to the work of His hands, He shall destroy them and never build them up.
6
Blessed is Jehovah, because He has heard the voice of my prayers.
7
Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise Him.
8
Jehovah is a strength to them, and He is the saving strength of His anointed.
9
Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance; feed them also, and lift them up forever.
