^28:3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts.

^28:4Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; repay them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.

^28:5Because they do not regard the works of the Lord , or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more.

^28:6Blessed be the Lord , for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.

^28:7The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

^28:8The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.

^28:9O save your people, and bless your heritage; be their shepherd, and carry them forever.
