Psalmes 28

P S A L. XXVII.

1 Dauid sustaineth his faith, by the power of God, 4 By his loue to the seruice of God, 9 By prayer.

¶ [ref]A Psalme of Dauid.

XXVIII ¶ The LORD is my light, and my saluation, whome shal I feare? the LORD is the strength of my life, of whō shall I be afraid? 2 [fn]When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon me to eat vp my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 [ref]Though an host should encampe against me, my heart shall not feare: though warre should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 [fn]One thing haue I desired of the LORD, that will I seeke after: that I may dwel in the house of the LORD, all the dayes of my life, to behold the beautie of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pauilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, hee shall set me vp vpon a rocke. 6 [fn]And now shall mine head be lifted vp aboue mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of ioy, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises vnto the LORD. 7 Heare, O LORD, when I crie with my voice: haue mercie also vpon mee, and answere me. 8 [fn]When thou saidst, Seeke ye my face, my heart said vnto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seeke. 9 Hide not thy face farre frō me, put not thy seruant away in anger: thou hast bin my helpe, leaue me not, neither forsake me, O God of my saluation. 10 [fn]When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me vp. 11 [ref][fn][fn]Teach me thy way, O LORD, and leade me in a plaine path, because of mine enemies. 12 Deliuer me not ouer vnto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen vp against me, and such as breath out crueltie. 13 I had fainted, vnlesse I had beleeued to see the goodnesse of the LORD in the land of the liuing. 14 [ref]Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

P S A L. XXVIII.

1 Dauid prayeth earnestly against his enemies. 6 He blesseth God. 9 Hee prayeth for the people.

¶ [ref][fn]A Psalme of Dauid.

XXVIII ¶ Vnto thee will I cry, O LORD, my rocke, be not silent to mee: lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that goe downe into the pit. 2 [fn]Heare the voyce of my supplications, when I cry vnto thee: when I lift vp my handes toward thy holy Oracle. 3 [ref]Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquitie: which speake peace to their neighbors, but mischiefe is in their hearts. 4 Giue them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their endeuours: giue them after the worke of their handes, render to them their desert. 5 Because they regard not the workes of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shal destroy them, and not build them vp. 6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voyce 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 reioyceth, and with my song will I praise him. 8 [fn][fn]The LORD is their strength, and hee is the sauing strength of his Anointed. 9 [fn]Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance, feede them also, and lift them vp for euer.
