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.

A Ti clamo, oh Yavé, Roca mía. No enmudezcas para mí, Porque si Tú enmudeces para mí, Seré como los que bajan a la fosa.

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

Oye la voz de mis súplicas cuando clamo a Ti, Cuando levanto mis manos hacia 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 arrastres junto con los impíos, Quienes hacen iniquidad Y hablan de paz con su prójimo, Pero la perversidad está en sus corazones.

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.

Dales conforme a su obra y según la perversidad de sus hechos. Retribúyeles de acuerdo con las obras de sus manos. ¡Dales su recompensa!

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 entienden los hechos de Yavé, Ni las obras de sus manos, Él los derribará y no los edificará.

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

¡Bendito sea Yavé, Porque escuchó 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.

Yavé es mi Fortaleza y mi Escudo. Confió mi corazón en Él Y fui ayudado, Por lo cual se regocija mi corazón. Lo alabaré con mi canto.

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

Yavé es la Fortaleza [de su pueblo], Y el Refugio salvador de 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 tu heredad! ¡Pastoréalos y cárgalos para siempre!
