< Psalms 28 >
1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; my Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down 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 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.
Exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te: dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; who speak peace with their neighbours, but evil 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 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis: redde retributionem eorum ipsis.
5 Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.
Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum eius destrues illos, et non aedificabis eos.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Benedictus Dominus: quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield, in Him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, 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 a strength unto them; and He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
Dominus fortitudo plebis suae: et protector salvationum christi sui est.
9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; and tend them, and carry them for ever.
Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et benedic hereditati tuae: et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
