Psalm 28
Holy One, I call to you;
you are my strength.
Do not go quiet on me,
if you remain silent
I will be like one
who sinks in a cistern.
Hear my cry for mercy,
I call to you for help
lifting up my arms toward you,
toward your inmost sanctuary.
Prevent me from being wicked,
stop me from doing evil;
from speaking peace with neighbours
while harbouring malice in my heart.
We receive according to our deeds,
according to the evil done
there is recompense for actions taken;
our hands receive what they have wrought.
When we do not consider our deeds
as undertaken for the Holy One,
our work will fail –
but Godde will break through.
Bless the Holy One
who has heard my cry for mercy.
The Holy One is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Godde who comes to my aid.
My heart rejoices,
I will praise Godde with my song.
