Psalm 28 | English Standard Version

The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield

Of David.

1 To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.*

3 Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.

4 Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more.

6 Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

8 The LORD is the strength of his people;* he is the saving refuge of his anointed.

9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Louis Segond 1910

1 De David. Éternel! c'est à toi que je crie. Mon rocher! ne reste pas sourd à ma voix, De peur que, si tu t'éloignes sans me répondre, Je ne sois semblable à ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.

2 Écoute la voix de mes supplications, quand je crie à toi, Quand j'élève mes mains vers ton sanctuaire.

3 Ne m'emporte pas avec les méchants et les hommes iniques, Qui parlent de paix à leur prochain et qui ont la malice dans le coeur.

4 Rends-leur selon leurs oeuvres et selon la malice de leurs actions, Rends-leur selon l'ouvrage de leurs mains; Donne-leur le salaire qu'ils méritent.

5 Car ils ne sont pas attentifs aux oeuvres de l'Éternel, A l'ouvrage de ses mains. Qu'il les renverse et ne les relève point!

6 Béni soit l'Éternel! Car il exauce la voix de mes supplications.

7 L'Éternel est ma force et mon bouclier; En lui mon coeur se confie, et je suis secouru; J'ai de l'allégresse dans le coeur, Et je le loue par mes chants.

8 L'Éternel est la force de son peuple, Il est le rocher des délivrances de son oint.

9 Sauve ton peuple et bénis ton héritage! Sois leur berger et leur soutien pour toujours!
