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.

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

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 inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.

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 understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, 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 hath heard the voice of my supplication.

Bendito Jehová, que oyó la voz de mis ruegos.

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.

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 protector of the salvation of his anointed.

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

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

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