Salme 28

1 Af David. Jeg raaber til dig, o HERRE, min Klippe, vær ikke tavs imod mig, at jeg ej, naar du tier, skal blive som de, der synker i Graven.

Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2 Hør min tryglende Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig, løfter Hænderne op mod dit hellige Tempel.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3 Riv mig ej bort med gudløse, Udaadsmænd, som har ondt i Sinde mod Næsten trods venlige Ord.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

4 Løn dem for deres Idræt og onde Gerninger; løn dem for deres Hænders Værk, gengæld dem efter Fortjeneste!

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Thi HERRENS Gerning ænser de ikke, ej heller hans Hænders Værk. Han nedbryde dem og opbygge dem ej!

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

6 Lovet være HERREN, thi han har hørt min tryglende Røst;

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

7 min Styrke, mit Skjold er HERREN, mit Hjerte stoler paa ham. Jeg fik Hjælp, mit Hjerte jubler, jeg takker ham med min Sang.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

8 HERREN er Værn for sit Folk, sin Salvedes Tilflugt og Frelse.

The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

9 Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv, røgt dem og bær dem til evig Tid!

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
