28:1 （大衛的詩。）耶和華啊，我要求告你！我的磐石啊，不要向我緘默！倘若你向我閉口，我就如將死的人一樣。
28:2 我呼求你，向你至聖所舉手的時候，求你垂聽我懇求的聲音！
28:3 不要把我和惡人並作孽的一同除掉；他們與鄰舍說和平話，心裡卻是奸惡。
28:4 願你按著他們所做的，並他們所行的惡事待他們。願你照著他們手所做的待他們，將他們所應得的報應加給他們。
28:5 他們既然不留心耶和華所行的和他手所做的，他就必毀壞他們，不建立他們。
28:6 耶和華是應當稱頌的，因為他聽了我懇求的聲音。
28:7 耶和華是我的力量，是我的盾牌；我心裡倚靠他就得幫助。所以我心中歡樂，我必用詩歌頌讚他。
28:8 耶和華是他百姓的力量，又是他受膏者得救的保障。
28:9 求你拯救你的百姓，賜福給你的產業，牧養他們，扶持他們，直到永遠。

Of David.
1 To
you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do
not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because
they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise
be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.

大衛是一個敬畏上帝的人，所以他看重上帝的受膏者，尤其是掃羅王與他為敵的時候，有幾次可以取掃羅的性命，他都放棄自己的私仇，不攻擊掃羅，連切了他的衣襟都覺得後悔！
也因為這樣，他希望上帝也保守他，因為他也是上帝的受膏者。雖然他為這身分常常被掃羅王追殺，流落到非力士地區也不得安寧，生活也不安定，但是他從沒有因此抱怨上帝。還能寫下歌頌上帝的詩歌：「耶和華是應當稱頌的，因為他聽了我懇求的聲音。耶和華是我的力量，是我的盾牌；我心裡倚靠他就得幫助。所以我心中歡樂，我必用詩歌頌讚他。耶和華是他百姓的力量，又是他受膏者得救的保障。求你拯救你的百姓，賜福給你的產業，牧養他們，扶持他們，直到永遠。」
求主保守我們，堅心相信上帝的應許，雖然眼前有許多困難和考驗，相信這些只是暫時的，將來必定有美好的結局，上帝的慈愛永遠不會改變，風雨過後就必享受永遠的安息，享受上帝所預備的永生福樂！
