1(28) [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
1By David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
2Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
2When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy menot with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evils are in their hearts.
3Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.
4One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
5Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up .
5For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
6Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.
6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
7Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
8The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
8When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”
9Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
9Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
