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。

Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who 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！

Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.

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。

Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbours is friendly, while evil is in their heart.

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 as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.

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！

They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.

6 上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.

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 strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise 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, the fortress who saves 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。

O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
