< Salme 28 >

1 Af David. Herre! til dig vil jeg raabe; min Klippe! vær ikke tavs imod mig, at du ikke holder dig stille imod mig, og jeg bliver lig dem, som fare ned i Graven.
BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
2 Hør mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig, naar jeg opløfter mine Hænder til dit hellige Kor.
Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.
3 Bortriv mig ikke med de ugudelige og med dem, som gøre Uret, dem, som tale Fred med deres Næste, enddog der er ondt i deres Hjerte.
Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.
4 Giv dem efter deres Gerning og efter deres Idrætters Ondskab; giv dem efter deres Hænders Gerning, betal dem, hvad de have fortjent.
Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.
5 Thi de agte ikke paa Herrens Værk, ej heller paa hans Hænders Gerning; han skal nedbryde dem og ikke bygge dem op.
For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.
6 Lovet være Herren; thi han har hørt mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst.
Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Herren er min Styrke og mit Skjold, mit Hjerte har forladt sig paa ham, og jeg er bleven hjulpen; og mit Hjerte fryder sig, og jeg vil takke ham med min Sang.
YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.
8 Herren er deres Styrke, og han er sin Salvedes Værn til Frelse.
YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
9 Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv og fød dem og ophøj dem indtil evig Tid.
Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
