Psalm 28: To you my rock I call, LORD

To you my Rock I call LORD;

Don’t turn a deaf ear to me.

For if you are silent

I’ll be like those down in the pit.  I

LORD hear my cry for mercy,

As I call out ‘help’ to you,

As I lift up my hands

Towards your Most Holy Place.

O praise the LORD,

He’s heard my cry for mercy.

The LORD is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusts in him.

I am helped, my heart leaps 

For joy; I will thank him in song.

I am helped, my heart leaps 

For joy; I will thank him in song

Don’t drag me off with the wicked,

With those whose work is evil.

They speak peace to their neighbours,

But malice is in their hearts.

Repay them for their deeds LORD,

And for their works of evil.

O LORD pay them back 

For what their hands have done.

They don’t regard the works of God,

Or all the things his hands have done,

So he’ll tear them down,

And he’ll never build them up again.

 

O praise the LORD ……..

The LORD’s the strength of his people;

A fortress of salvation,

That great salvation 

Of his anointed one.

O LORD come save your people;

Bless those you will inherit;

Carry them ever on 

As a shepherd does his sheep.

O praise the LORD ……..
