< 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.
Psalmus David. Ad te Domine clamabo, Deus meus ne sileas a me: ne quando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.
2 Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
Exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te: dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
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.
Ne simul tradas me cum peccatoribus: et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me: Qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.
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.
Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis: redde retributionem eorum ipsis.
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.
Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum eius destrues illos, et non aedificabis eos.
6 Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
Benedictus Dominus: quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae.
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.
Dominus adiutor meus, et protector meus: et in ipso speravit cor meum, et adiutus sum. Et refloruit caro mea: et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.
8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
Dominus fortitudo plebis suae: et protector salvationum christi sui est.
9 Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et benedic hereditati tuae: et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
