< 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. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3 Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evils are 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 works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.
5 Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
6 Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.
7 U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.
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 Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9 Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!
Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
