Psalmen 28

1A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

3Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.

4Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.

5Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

6Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

7The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.

8The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

9Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.

1Psalmus ipsi David. [Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me: nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

2Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.

3Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus, et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me; qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.

4Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis; redde retributionem eorum ipsis.

5Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.

6Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.

7Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus; in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum: et refloruit caro mea, et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.

8Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.

9Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.]

1A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.

2Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

3Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.

4Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.

5Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.

6Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.

7The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.

8The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.

9O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
