Psalms 28

1 “Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; O my rock, turn not unheeding from me: lest thou turn away silent from me, and I become like those that go down into the pit.

Davidov. K tebi, o Jahve, vapijem, hridino moja, ne ogluši se na me: da neuslišan ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the most holy place of thy sanctuary.

Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.

3 Snatch me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of injustice, who speak peace with their neighbors, with mischief in their heart.

Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.

4 Give unto them according to their doing, and according to the evil of their deeds; according to the work of their hands do thou give unto them: bestow their [just] recompense on them.

Daj im po djelima njihovim i po zloći njihovih nedjela! Po djelu ruku njihovih plati im, uzvrati im po njihovoj zasluzi!

5 Because they have no regard for the doings of the Lord, nor the works of his hands: may he pull them down, and not build them up.

Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!

6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped, and my heart exulteth; and with my song will I thank him.

U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.

8 The Lord is strength unto them, and he is the fortress of victory of his anointed.

Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.

9 Help thy people, and bless thy heritage: and feed them, and exalt them unto all eternity.

Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!
