Psalms 28

1 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.

上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

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

當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

3 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.

求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

4 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.

願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

5 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.

他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

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

上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

7 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.

上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

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

上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

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

求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。
