Psalms 28 — The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield

Summary

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock. Hear the voice of my supplications. Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
