Ch 28 / 150~1 min
TehillimChapter 28
My Strength and Shield, Adonai My Rock
David's cry not to be taken away with the wicked and his praise for answered prayer points to Yeshua's resurrection: the Father did not abandon Him to the pit.
- Adonai Is My Strength and Shield
David cries to his Rock. Silence from Elohim feels terrifying, but He hears and becomes your strength and shield.
- 1To you, YHWH, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
- 2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands towards your Most Kodesh Place.
- 3Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
- 4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
- 5Because they don’t respect the works of YHWH, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
- 6Blessed be YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
- 7YHWH is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
- 8YHWH is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
- 9Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
