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.

K tebi, Gospode, vièem; grade moj, nemoj mi muèati, da ne bih, ako uzmuèiš, bio kao oni koji odlaze u grob.

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

Èuj molitveni glas moj, kad vapijem k tebi, kad dižem ruke svoje k svetoj crkvi tvojoj.

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.

Nemoj me zahvatiti s grješnicima, i s onima koji èine nepravdu, koji s bližnjima svojima mirno govore, a u srcu im je zlo.

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!

Podaj im, Gospode, po djelima njihovijem, po zlomu postupanju njihovu; po djelima ruku njihovijeh podaj im, podaj im što su zaslužili.

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.

Jer ne paze na djela Gospodnja, i na djela ruku njegovijeh. Da ih razori i ne sazida.

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

Da je blagosloven Gospod, jer usliši glas moljenja mojega!

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.

Gospod je krjepost moja i štit moj; u njega se pouzda srce moje, i on mi pomože. Zato se veseli srce moje, i pjesmom svojom slavim ga.

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

Gospod je krjepost naroda svojega, i obrana koja spasava pomazanika njegova.

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

Spasi narod svoj, blagoslovi dostojanje svoje; spasi ih i uzdiži ih dovijeka.
