Text for the Day -- Psalm 28
----------
To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, do not refuse to hear me, for if you are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to you for help, as I lift up my hands towards your most holy sanctuary.
Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbours, while mischief is in their hearts.
Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds; repay them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, or the work of his hands, he will break them down and build them up no more.
Devotional
----------
David pleads for God not to be silent, but to hear his prayer and act for his people. David is confident God will hear and answer. He closes the psalm by describing the ways God cares for his people. God is the strength of the people. God is a shepherd to the people and carries them forever. However, the wicked do not remember God of the acts of God, and so, they do not know the protection of God.
Prayer
-------------
O Divine Shepherd, keep me ever in your fold and help me remember your acts of steadfast love. Amen
