The Message

Psalm 28:2-6-7 The Message (MSG)

2. I’m letting you know what I need,calling out for helpAnd lifting my armstoward your inner sanctum.

3-4. Don’t shove me intothe same jail cell with those crooks,With those who arefull-time employees of evil.They talk a good line of “peace,”then moonlight for the Devil.Pay them back for what they’ve done,for how bad they’ve been.Pay them back for their long hoursin the Devil’s workshop;Then cap it with a huge bonus.

5. Because they have no idea how God worksor what he is up to,God will smash them to smithereensand walk away from the ruins.

6-7. Blessed be God—he heard me praying.He proved he’s on my side;I’ve thrown my lot in with him.Now I’m jumping for joy,and shouting and singing my thanks to him.
