Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent towards me: lest you be silent towards me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te Domine clamabo, Deus meus ne sileas a me: ne quando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands towards your holy temple.

Exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meæ 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 trahas me cum peccatoribus: et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me: Qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem 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 to them.

Da illis secundum opera eorum, 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, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.

Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum eius destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.

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

Benedictus Dominus: quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.

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 suæ: et protector salvationum Christi sui est.

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

Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et benedic hereditati tuæ: et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
