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.

Salmo de David. A TI clamaré, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía: no te desentiendas de mí; porque no sea yo, dejándome tú, semejante á los que descienden 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.

Oye la voz de mis ruegos cuando clamo á ti, cuando alzo mis manos hacia el templo de tu santidad.

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 arrebates á una con los malos, y con los que hacen iniquidad: los cuales hablan paz con sus prójimos, y la maldad está 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.

Dales conforme á su obra, y conforme á la malicia de sus hechos: dales conforme á la obra de sus manos, dales su paga.

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 atendieron á las obras de Jehová, ni al hecho de sus manos, derribarálos, y no los edificará.

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

Bendito Jehová, que oyó la voz de mis ruegos.

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.

Jehová es mi fortaleza y mi escudo: en él esperó mi corazón, y fuí ayudado; por lo que se gozó mi corazón, y con mi canción le alabaré.

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

Jehová es su fuerza, y la fortaleza de las saludes de su ungido.

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

Salva á tu pueblo, y bendice á tu heredad; y pastoréalos y ensálzalos para siempre.
