Psalm 28:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 Hear me when I call to you for help.
    Please be kind to me.
I am lifting up my hands
    towards your Most Holy Place.[a]
3 Do not pull me away to punishment,
    as you do with wicked people.
Those people do evil things.
They say kind words to their friends,
    but really they want to hurt them.
4 Punish them for their sins.
    Give back to them what they deserve!
Yes, punish them!
    That is the fair thing to do.

Footnotes

  1. 28:2 When they prayed, Jews often lifted their hands up to God. Christians may do the same. Paul wrote, ‘I want people to lift up their hands and pray.’ See 1 Timothy 2:8. The Most Holy Place was the inside room of God's Temple, where the Covenant Box was.
