Psalms 28

1 A psalm of David. Lord, my rock, I'm calling out to you. Please listen to me! For if you don't respond, I'll be like those who go down into the grave.

大卫的诗。 耶和华啊，我要求告你！ 我的磐石啊，不要向我缄默！ 倘若你向我闭口， 我就如将死的人一样。

2 Listen as I appeal for mercy, as I call for help, as I hold up my hands in prayer towards your holy Temple.

我呼求你，向你至圣所举手的时候， 求你垂听我恳求的声音！

3 Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak nicely to their neighbors while in their minds they're plotting evil.

不要把我和恶人并作孽的一同除掉； 他们与邻舍说和平话，心里却是奸恶。

4 Give them what they deserve for their evil actions. Pay them back for what they've done. Give them the reward they've earned!

愿你按着他们所做的， 并他们所行的恶事待他们。 愿你照着他们手所做的待他们， 将他们所应得的报应加给他们。

5 For they don't pay any attention to what the Lord does, or to what he created. So he will destroy them—they will never be restored.

他们既然不留心耶和华所行的和他手所做的， 他就必毁坏他们，不建立他们。

6 Praise the Lord! For he has heard my appeal for mercy!

耶和华是应当称颂的， 因为他听了我恳求的声音。

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield. I trust in him and he helps me. I'm so happy, and I sing my thanks to him.

耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌； 我心里倚靠他就得帮助。 所以我心中欢乐， 我必用诗歌颂赞他。

8 The Lord gives strength to his people; he is a safe refuge for the one he has anointed.

耶和华是他百姓的力量， 又是他受膏者得救的保障。

9 Save your people! Bless your “special possession”! Be their shepherd and carry them in your arms forever!

求你拯救你的百姓，赐福给你的产业， 牧养他们，扶持他们，直到永远。
