Chapter 28
1
Of David. To you, LORD, I call; my Rock, do not be deaf to me. If you fail to answer me, I will join those who go down to the pit.
2
1 Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you, lifting my hands toward your holy place.
3
Do not drag me off with the wicked, with those who do wrong, Who speak peace to their neighbors though evil is in their hearts.
4
Repay them for their deeds, for the evil that they do. For the work of their hands repay them; give them what they deserve.
5
They pay no heed to the LORD’S works, to the deeds of God’s hands. God will tear them down, never to be rebuilt.
6
2 Blessed be the LORD, who has heard the sound of my pleading.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield, in whom my heart trusted and found help. So my heart rejoices; with my song I praise my God.
8
3 LORD, you are the strength of your people, the saving refuge of your anointed king.
9
Save your people, bless your inheritance; feed and sustain them forever!
1 [2] Your holy place: the innermost part of the temple, the holy of holies, containing the ark. Cf ⇒ 1 Kings 6:16, ⇒ 19-23; ⇒ 8:6-8.
2 [6] The psalmist shifts to fervent thanksgiving, probably responding to a priestly or prophetic oracle in ⇒ Psalm 28:5cd (not usually transmitted) assuring the worshiper that the prayer has been heard.
3 [8] Your people . . . your anointed king: salvation is more than individual, affecting all the people and their God-given leader.
