< 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.
De David. A Ti, Yahvé, clamo, roca mía, no te muestres sordo conmigo; no sea que si Tú me desoyes me asemeje yo a los que bajan al sepulcro.
2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
Escucha la voz de mi súplica cuando clamo a Ti, mientras levanto mis manos hacia el interior de tu Santuario.
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.
No me quites de en medio con los impíos y los obradores de iniquidad, que hablan paz a su prójimo y maquinan el mal en su corazón.
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.
Retribúyeles conforme a sus obras y a la malicia de sus maquinaciones; págales según su conducta, dales su merecido.
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.
Porque no paran mientes en los hechos de Yahvé, ni en las obras de sus manos. ¡Destrúyalos Él y no los restablezca!
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
Bendito sea Yahvé, porque oyó la voz de mi súplica.
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.
Yahvé es mi fortaleza y mi escudo; en Él confió mi corazón y fui socorrido. Por eso mi corazón salta de gozo y lo alabo con mi cántico.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
Yahvé es la fuerza de su pueblo, y el alcázar de salvación para su ungido.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
Salva a tu pueblo y bendice a tu heredad; apaciéntalos y condúcelos para siempre.
