Psalms 28
1 [By David.] To you, YHWH, 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.
Af David. Herre! til dig vil jeg raabe; min Klippe! vær ikke tavs imod mig, at du ikke holder dig stille imod mig, og jeg bliver lig dem, som fare ned i Graven.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
Hør mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig, naar jeg opløfter mine Hænder til dit hellige Kor.
3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
Bortriv mig ikke med de ugudelige og med dem, som gøre Uret, dem, som tale Fred med deres Næste, enddog der er ondt i deres Hjerte.
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.
Giv dem efter deres Gerning og efter deres Idrætters Ondskab; giv dem efter deres Hænders Gerning, betal dem, hvad de have fortjent.
5 Because they do not regard the works of YHWH, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
Thi de agte ikke paa Herrens Værk, ej heller paa hans Hænders Gerning; han skal nedbryde dem og ikke bygge dem op.
6 Blessed be YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
Lovet være Herren; thi han har hørt mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst.
7 YHWH 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.
Herren er min Styrke og mit Skjold, mit Hjerte har forladt sig paa ham, og jeg er bleven hjulpen; og mit Hjerte fryder sig, og jeg vil takke ham med min Sang.
8 YHWH is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Herren er deres Styrke, og han er sin Salvedes Værn til Frelse.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv og fød dem og ophøj dem indtil evig Tid.
