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.

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

Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.

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

Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.

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

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

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 min tryglende Røst;

Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 min Styrke, mit Skjold er HERREN, mit Hjerte stoler paa ham. Jeg fik Hjælp, mit Hjerte jubler, jeg takker 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 Værn for sit Folk, sin Salvedes Tilflugt og 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, røgt dem og bær dem til evig Tid!

Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
