Psalms 28

1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.

上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

2 Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.

當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

3 Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.

求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

4 Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.

願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

5 For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.

他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

6 Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.

上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

7 The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.

上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.

上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

9 Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.

求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。
