Psalm 28B: Psalm 28

Barnabas, 76.76.77.76. [High C]

1. ¹ LORD, my Rock, to You I cry!
        O be not deaf to Me!
If You speak not, I must lie
        With those entombed that be.
² Hear when I before You stand,
        There to voice my earnest plea,
When I lift imploring hands
        Toward Your sanctu'ry.

2. ³ Drag me not away from You
        With men engaged in sin,
Who with peace their neighbors woo
        While murder lurks within.
⁴ Give to them their cup of woe,
        All the evils they have wrought.
Let them by Your judgment know
        The woes which they have brought.

3. ⁵ Since the doings of the LORD,
        His works, they yet ignore,
He'll make ruin their reward
        Nor build them any more.
⁶ Bless the LORD! My cry He heard!
        ⁷ My defense, my shield, the LORD!
My heart trusted in His word;
        With help I am restored.

4. Glad in heart, I'll raise my song.
        ⁸ The LORD protects His own.
His Anointed He makes strong;
        He saves and guards His throne.
⁹ Save Your people; prosper them;
        Bless them for Your heritage.
Be their shepherd. Carry them
        Secure through every age.
