Psalms 28
1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
Af David. Herre! til dig vil jeg raabe; min Klippe! vær ikke tavs imod mig, at du ikke holder dig stille imod mig, og jeg bliver lig dem, som fare ned i Graven.
2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
Hør mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig, naar jeg opløfter mine Hænder til dit hellige Kor.
3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
Bortriv mig ikke med de ugudelige og med dem, som gøre Uret, dem, som tale Fred med deres Næste, enddog der er ondt i deres Hjerte.
4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.
Giv dem efter deres Gerning og efter deres Idrætters Ondskab; giv dem efter deres Hænders Gerning, betal dem, hvad de have fortjent.
5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
Thi de agte ikke paa Herrens Værk, ej heller paa hans Hænders Gerning; han skal nedbryde dem og ikke bygge dem op.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
Lovet være Herren; thi han har hørt mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst.
7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
Herren er min Styrke og mit Skjold, mit Hjerte har forladt sig paa ham, og jeg er bleven hjulpen; og mit Hjerte fryder sig, og jeg vil takke ham med min Sang.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
Herren er deres Styrke, og han er sin Salvedes Værn til Frelse.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv og fød dem og ophøj dem indtil evig Tid.
