28.2 :When I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.


 * Draw me not away with the wicked,
 * And with the workers of iniquity;
 * Who speak peace with their neighbours,
 * But evil is in their hearts.
 * Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours;
 * Give them after the work of their hands;
 * Render to them their desert.
 * Because they give no heed to the works of the ,
 * Nor to the operation of His hands;
 * He will break them down and not build them up.


 * Blessed be the ,
 * Because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
 * The is my strength and my shield,
 * In Him hath my heart trusted, And I am helped;
 * Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth,
 * And with my song will I praise Him.


 * The is a strength unto them;
 * And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
 * Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance;
 * And tend them, and carry them for ever.

A Psalm of David.


 * Ascribe unto the, O ye sons of might,
 * Ascribe unto the glory and strength.
 * Ascribe unto the the glory due unto His name;
 * Worship the in the beauty of holiness.


 * The voice of the is upon the waters;
 * The God of glory thundereth,
 * Even the upon many waters.
 * The voice of the is powerful;
 * The voice of the is full of majesty.
 * The voice of the breaketh the cedars;
 * Yea, the breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
 * He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
 * Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
 * The voice of the heweth out flames of fire.
 * The voice of the shaketh the wilderness;
 * The shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
 * The voice of the maketh the hinds to calve,
 * And strippeth the forests bare;
 * And in His temple all say: 'Glory.'


 * The sat enthroned at the flood;
 * Yea, the sitteth as King for ever.
 * The will give strength unto His people;
 * The will bless his people with peace.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David.


 * I will extol thee, O, for Thou hast raised me up,
 * And hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
