< Psalms 28 >
1 Unto thee will I cry, O Yhwh my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
K tebi hočem klicati, oh Gospod, moja skala, ne bodi molčeč do mene, da ne bi, če boš do mene molčeč, postal podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Prisluhni glasu mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko kličem k tebi, ko svoje roke dvigujem k tvojemu svetemu oraklju.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Ne odtegni me proč z zlobnimi in z delavci krivičnosti, ki svojim bližnjim govorijo mir, toda v njihovih srcih je vragolija.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
Daj jim glede na njihova dejanja in glede na zlobnost njihovih prizadevanj. Daj jim po delu njihovih rok, povrni jim njihovo plačilo.
5 Because they regard not the works of Yhwh, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
Ker ne upoštevajo Gospodovih del niti delovanja njegovih rok, jih bo uničil in jih ne bo zgradil.
6 Blessed be Yhwh, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ker je uslišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj.
7 Yhwh is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Gospod je moja moč in moj ščit, moje srce je zaupalo vanj in pomagano mi je. Zato se moje srce silno razveseljuje in s svojo pesmijo ga bom hvalil.
8 Yhwh is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
Gospod je njihova moč in on je rešilna moč svojemu maziljencu.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
Reši svoje ljudstvo in blagoslavljaj svojo dediščino, tudi pasi jih in dvigni jih na veke.
