Psalms 28

• 1. To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone 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 upon them what they deserve.
• 5. Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD 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 I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
• 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.

Psalms 29

• 1. Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
• 2. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
• 3. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
• 4. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.
• 5. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
• 6. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
• 7. The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
• 8. The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
• 9. The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
• 10. The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
• 11. The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Psalms 30

• 1. I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
• 2. O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
• 3. O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.
• 4. Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
• 5. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
• 6. When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."
• 7. O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
• 8. To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
• 9. "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
• 10. Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."
• 11. You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
• 12. that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
