詩篇 28

1 上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

[A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

2 當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.

3 求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.

4 願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.

5 他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.

6 上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

7 上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

8 上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

9 求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
