Psalms 28

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.	1 A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.
2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.	2 Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.
3 Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.	3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.
4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.	4 The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.
5 Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.	5 The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.	6 And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.
7 The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.	7 The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.	8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.
9 Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.	9 The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.
	10 The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.
	11 The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
