A Prayer in Troubled Times

Of David.

28 Lord, my Rock [C providing protection], I ·call out to you for help [pray].
    Do not be ·deaf [silent] to me.
If you are silent,
    I will be like those ·in the grave [L who go down to the Pit; 16:10].
Hear the sound of my ·prayer [supplication],
    when I cry out to you for help.
I raise my hands
    toward your Most Holy Place [C the place where God made his presence known, the sanctuary].
Don’t drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil.
They say “Peace” to their neighbors,
    but evil is in their hearts.
Pay them back for what they have done,
    for their evil deeds.
Pay them back for ·what they have done [L the work of their hands];
    give them their reward.
They don’t understand what the Lord has done
    or ·what he has made [L the work of his hands].
So he will ·knock [tear] them down
    and not ·lift [L build] them up.

·Praise [L Blessed be] the Lord,
    because he heard ·my prayer for help [L the sound of my supplication].
The Lord is my strength [Ex. 15:2] and shield.
    ·I trust [My heart has confidence in] him, and he helps me.
·I am [L My heart is] very happy,
    and I ·praise [give thanks to] him with my song.
The Lord is powerful;
    he ·gives victory [is a saving refuge] to his ·chosen one [anointed].
·Save [L Give victory to] your people
    and bless ·those who are your own [L your inheritance].
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Plegaria pidiendo ayuda, y alabanza por la respuesta

Salmo de David.

28 A ti clamaré, oh Jehová.
Roca mía, no te desentiendas de mí,
Para que no sea yo, dejándome tú,
Semejante a los que descienden al sepulcro.
Oye la voz de mis ruegos cuando clamo a ti,
Cuando alzo mis manos hacia tu santo templo.

No me arrebates juntamente con los malos,
Y con los que hacen iniquidad,
Los cuales hablan paz con sus prójimos,
Pero la maldad está en su corazón.
Dales conforme a sus obras, y conforme a la perversidad de sus hechos;
Dales su merecido conforme a la obra de sus manos.
Por cuanto no consideran las acciones de Jehová,
Ni la obra de sus manos,
Él los derribará, y no los edificará.

Bendito sea Jehová,
Que oyó la voz de mis ruegos.
Jehová es mi fortaleza y mi escudo;
En él confió mi corazón, y fui socorrido,
Por lo que exulta de gozo mi corazón
Y con mi cántico te alabaré.

Jehová es la fortaleza de su pueblo,
Y el refugio salvador de su ungido.
Salva a tu pueblo, y bendice a tu heredad;
Y pastoréalos y condúcelos para siempre.
