Psalm 28 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter

1    UNTO 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.

2    Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3    Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but 
    mischief is in their hearts.

4    Give 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.

5    Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not
    build them up.

6    Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7    The 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.

8    The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.  

9    Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:  feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

    Psalm 28 - KJV

Psalm 28
A Psalm of David.
1 To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.
2 The voice hear of my humble pray'rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.
3 With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.
4 Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavoured:
And as their handy-works deserve,
to them be rendered.
5 God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The Lord's own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.
6 For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petitions,
and prayers did regard.
7 The Lord's my strength and shield; my
heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,
And with my song I will him praise.
8 Their strength is God alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.
9 O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.
