Psalmi 28

1 Davidov. K tebi, o Jahve, vapijem, hridino moja, ne ogluši se na me: da neuslišan ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze.

[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2 Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.

Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

4 Daj im po djelima njihovim i po zloći njihovih nedjela! Po djelu ruku njihovih plati im, uzvrati im po njihovoj zasluzi!

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.

5 Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!

Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

6 Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.

Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

8 Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.

Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever.
