< 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.
MAIN, ai paipalap, I lao likwir won komui, kom der kotin japaimokid, pwe ma re pan japaimokid, i pan duet ir, me pan lokidokila nan por o.
2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
Kom kotin mani nil en ai nidinid, I lau likwir won komui, I lao kapa won pa I kat mol omui jaraui.
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.
Re der kotin kajapoko ia la ianaki me japun kan, ianaki me wia jued, me kin lokaia kajelel on men impa, ap lamelame jued nan monion arail.
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.
Kotin depuk on ir duen ar dodok o duen ar tiak jued; kotiki on ir duen dodok en pa arail; katini on ir duen ar wiawia.
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.
Pwe re jota injenoki dodok en Ieowa de wiawia en lim a kan; e me a pan kotin kawe ir ala, a jota kauada.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
Kapin on Ieowa, pwe a kotin erekier nil en ai nidinid.
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.
Ieowa kel pa i o pere pa i, monion i kin liki i, o jauaja pa i mia. Monion i liki i o i pan danke i ki ai kaul.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
Ieowa kelel parail; I me manaman on jauaja japwilim a me keidier.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
Kotin jauaja japwilim omui aramaj omui jojo, o kotin kamana ir o apwali irail ada kokolata!
