Psalms 28

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 28 of 150

1 A Psalm of David. I will call to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, be not silent to me, lest, if you be silent from me I may be compared with those going down into the Pit.

2 Hear the voice of my prayers in my crying to You, when I lift my hands to the oracle of Your holiness

3 Draw me not away with the wicked ones, with the workers of iniquity; those who speak peace with their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts.
