Psalms 28:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2 Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

4 Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
