Psalms 28:4

2 Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

6 Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
