The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield

Of David.

28 To you, O Lord, I call;
    (A)my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you (B)be silent to me,
    I become like those who (C)go down to the pit.
(D)Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
    when I cry to you for help,
when I (E)lift up my hands
    (F)towards your most holy sanctuary.[a]
Do not (G)drag me off with the wicked,
    with the workers of evil,
(H)who speak peace with their neighbours
    while evil is in their hearts.

who speak cordially with their neighbors
    but harbor malice in their hearts.(G)
