Psalms 28
1The title of the eiyt and twentithe salm. The salm, ethir song of Dauid. Ye sones of God, brynge to the Lord; brynge ye to the Lord the sones of rammes.
2Brynge ye to the Lord glorie and onour; brynge ye to the Lord glorie to his name; herie ye the Lord in his hooli large place.
3The vois of the Lord on watris, God of mageste thundride; the Lord on many watris.
4The vois of the Lord in vertu; the vois of the Lord in greet doyng.
5The vois of the Lord brekynge cedris; and the Lord schal breke the cedris of the Liban.
6And he schal al to-breke hem to dust as a calf of the Liban; and the derling was as the sone of an vnycorn.
7The vois of the Lord departynge the flawme of fier;
8the vois of the Lord schakynge desert; and the Lord schal stire togidere the desert of Cades.
9The vois of the Lord makynge redi hertis, and he schal schewe thicke thingis; and in his temple alle men schulen seie glorie.
10The Lord makith to enhabite the greet flood; and the Lord schal sitte kyng with outen ende.
11The Lord schal yyue vertu to his puple; the Lord schal blesse his puple in pees.
Psalms 28
1Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
