The Psalms, starting at chapter 28
Psalm 28
By David.
{28:1} To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don't be deaf to me;
lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
{28:2} Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
{28:3} Don't draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
{28:4} Give them according to their work, and according to the
wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
{28:5} Because they don't respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.
{28:6} Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
{28:7} Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him.
{28:8} Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
{28:9} Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.
Psalm 29
A Psalm by David.
{29:1} Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
{29:2} Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name.
Worship Yahweh in holy array.
{29:3} Yahweh's voice is on the waters.
The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.
{29:4} Yahweh's voice is powerful.
Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.
{29:5} The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars.
Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
{29:6} He makes them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
{29:7} Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
{29:8} Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness.
Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
{29:9} Yahweh's voice makes the deer calve,
and strips the forests bare.
In his temple everything says, "Glory!"
{29:10} Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood.
Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.
{29:11} Yahweh will give strength to his people.
Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
Psalm 30
A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.
{30:1} I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
{30:2} Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.
{30:3} Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from [1>]Sheol[<1].
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
{30:4} Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
{30:5} For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
{30:6} As for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I shall never be moved."
{30:7} You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
{30:8} I cried to you, Yahweh.
To Yahweh I made supplication:
{30:9} "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the
pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?
{30:10} Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper."
{30:11} You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
{30:12} To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be
silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
