Psalms 28

1 [By David.] To you, LORD, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

[Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD su langoeyu, nga pang nu sum. Lohng tung luk! Kom fin tia topukyu, Nga ac fah welulos su tufokla nu infulan misa.

2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Lohngyu ke nga pang in suk kasru sum, Ke nga asroeak pouk nu ke Tempul mutal sum.

3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Nikmet nununkeyu yurin mwet koluk, Yurin mwet su oru ma koluk — Mwet su kulang na likin pusraclos, A insialos sessesla ke srunga.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

Sang kai nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, Ke ma koluk elos orala. Kaelos ke ma nukewa elos oru. Sang nu selos topken orekma koluk lalos!

5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

Elos tiana lohang nu ke ma LEUM GOD El oru Ku nu ke orekma lun paol. Ke ma inge El ac fah kaelos Ac kunauselosla nwe tok.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

Kaksakin LEUM GOD, Tuh El lohng pusren kwafe luk.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

LEUM GOD El karinginyu ac kasreyu; Nga lulalfongi in El. El kasreyu ac akenganyeyu; Nga kaksakunul ke pusren on in engan.

8 The LORD is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

LEUM GOD El karingin mwet lal; El kasru ac molela tokosra su El sulela.

9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

LEUM GOD, molela mwet lom, Ac akinsewowoyalos su ma lom. Kom in mwet shepherd lalos, Ac karinganulos nwe tok ma pahtpat.
