Psalms 28

1 Of David. My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.

A Ti clamo, oh Yavé, Roca mía. No enmudezcas para mí, Porque si Tú enmudeces para mí, Seré como los que bajan a la fosa.

2 Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.

Oye la voz de mis súplicas cuando clamo a Ti, Cuando levanto mis manos hacia tu Santuario.

3 Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

No me arrastres junto con los impíos, Quienes hacen iniquidad Y hablan de paz con su prójimo, Pero la perversidad está en sus corazones.

4 Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

Dales conforme a su obra y según la perversidad de sus hechos. Retribúyeles de acuerdo con las obras de sus manos. ¡Dales su recompensa!

5 Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

Porque no entienden los hechos de Yavé, Ni las obras de sus manos, Él los derribará y no los edificará.

6 May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

¡Bendito sea Yavé, Porque escuchó la voz de mi súplica!

7 The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

Yavé es mi Fortaleza y mi Escudo. Confió mi corazón en Él Y fui ayudado, Por lo cual se regocija mi corazón. Lo alabaré con mi canto.

8 The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.

Yavé es la Fortaleza [de su pueblo], Y el Refugio salvador de su ungido.

9 Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.

¡Salva a tu pueblo, Y bendice tu heredad! ¡Pastoréalos y cárgalos para siempre!
