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.

[Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD su langoeyu, nga pang nu sum. Lohng tung luk! Kom fin tia topukyu, Nga ac fah welulos su tufokla nu infulan misa.

2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.

Lohngyu ke nga pang in suk kasru sum, Ke nga asroeak pouk nu ke Tempul mutal sum.

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.

Nikmet nununkeyu yurin mwet koluk, Yurin mwet su oru ma koluk — Mwet su kulang na likin pusraclos, A insialos sessesla ke srunga.

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.

Sang kai nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, Ke ma koluk elos orala. Kaelos ke ma nukewa elos oru. Sang nu selos topken orekma koluk lalos!

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.

Elos tiana lohang nu ke ma LEUM GOD El oru Ku nu ke orekma lun paol. Ke ma inge El ac fah kaelos Ac kunauselosla nwe tok.

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

Kaksakin LEUM GOD, Tuh El lohng pusren kwafe luk.

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.

LEUM GOD El karinginyu ac kasreyu; Nga lulalfongi in El. El kasreyu ac akenganyeyu; Nga kaksakunul ke pusren on in engan.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

LEUM GOD El karingin mwet lal; El kasru ac molela tokosra su El sulela.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.

LEUM GOD, molela mwet lom, Ac akinsewowoyalos su ma lom. Kom in mwet shepherd lalos, Ac karinganulos nwe tok ma pahtpat.
