Psalms 28
1A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.
2Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.
3The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.
4The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.
5The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.
6And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.
7The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.
8The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.
9The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.
10The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.
11The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
1Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
