< Psalms 28 >
1 A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
Davidov. K tebi, o Jahve, vapijem, hridino moja, ne ogluši se na me: da neuslišan ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze.
2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.
3 Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.
Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.
4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.
Daj im po djelima njihovim i po zloći njihovih nedjela! Po djelu ruku njihovih plati im, uzvrati im po njihovoj zasluzi!
5 Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.
Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.
7 The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.
9 Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!
