Psalms 28
1 To thee, O Jehovah, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me: nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus, et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me; qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense,
Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis; redde retributionem eorum ipsis.
5 because they regard not the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.
Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.
Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus; in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum: et refloruit caro mea, et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.
8 Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
