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.

huic David ad te Domine clamabo Deus meus ne sileas a me nequando taceas a me et adsimilabor descendentibus in lacum

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

exaudi vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum

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.

ne simul tradas me cum peccatoribus et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdideris me qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo mala autem sunt in cordibus eorum

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.

da illis secundum opera ipsorum et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis redde retributionem eorum ipsis

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.

quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini et in opera manuum eius destrues illos et non aedificabis eos

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

benedictus Dominus quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae

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.

Dominus adiutor meus et protector meus in ipso speravit cor meum et adiutus sum et refloruit caro mea et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei

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

Dominus fortitudo plebis suae et protector salvationum christi sui est

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

salvam fac plebem tuam et benedic hereditati tuae et rege eos et extolle eos usque in aeternum
