Context of Psalms 28:4
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness. 3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart. Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert. 5For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up. 6Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
