Psalm 28:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

28 Lord, you are my Rock.
    I am calling to you for help.
    Don’t close your ears to my prayers.
If you don’t answer me,
    I will be counted among the dead.
² I lift my hands and pray toward your Most Holy Place.
    Hear me when I call to you.
    Show mercy to me.
³ Don’t treat me like the evil people
    who do wicked things.
They greet their neighbors like friends,
    but secretly plan to hurt them.
