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.

Of David. My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.

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

Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.

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

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil 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 the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

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

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

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

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

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

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

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

The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.

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

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
