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.

[Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD su langoeyu, nga pang nu sum. Lohng tung luk! Kom fin tia topukyu, Nga ac fah welulos su tufokla nu infulan misa.

2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

Lohngyu ke nga pang in suk kasru sum, Ke nga asroeak pouk nu ke Tempul mutal sum.

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.

Nikmet nununkeyu yurin mwet koluk, Yurin mwet su oru ma koluk — Mwet su kulang na likin pusraclos, A insialos sessesla ke srunga.

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.

Sang kai nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, Ke ma koluk elos orala. Kaelos ke ma nukewa elos oru. Sang nu selos topken orekma koluk lalos!

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.

Elos tiana lohang nu ke ma LEUM GOD El oru Ku nu ke orekma lun paol. Ke ma inge El ac fah kaelos Ac kunauselosla nwe tok.

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

Kaksakin LEUM GOD, Tuh El lohng pusren kwafe luk.

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.

LEUM GOD El karinginyu ac kasreyu; Nga lulalfongi in El. El kasreyu ac akenganyeyu; Nga kaksakunul ke pusren on in engan.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

LEUM GOD El karingin mwet lal; El kasru ac molela tokosra su El sulela.

9 Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.

LEUM GOD, molela mwet lom, Ac akinsewowoyalos su ma lom. Kom in mwet shepherd lalos, Ac karinganulos nwe tok ma pahtpat.
