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.

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 petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Prisluhni glasu mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko kličem k tebi, ko svoje roke dvigujem k tvojemu svetemu oraklju.

3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, 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 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.

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 do not regard the works of YHWH, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down 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 has heard the voice of my petitions.

Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ker je uslišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj.

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.

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

Gospod je njihova moč in on je rešilna moč svojemu maziljencu.

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

Reši svoje ljudstvo in blagoslavljaj svojo dediščino, tudi pasi jih in dvigni jih na veke.
