< Psalms 28 >

1 “A psalm of David.” To thee do I cry, O LORD! O my rock! be not silent to me, Lest, if thou answer me not, I become like those who go down to the pit!
لِدَاوُدَ إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ أَصْرُخُ. يَا صَخْرَتِي، لَا تَتَصَامَمْ مِنْ جِهَتِي، لِئَلَّا تَسْكُتَ عَنِّي فَأُشْبِهَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ.١
2 Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most holy sanctuary!
ٱسْتَمِعْ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي إِذْ أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ وَأَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى مِحْرَابِ قُدْسِكَ.٢
3 Draw me not away with the impious, and with evil-doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts!
لَا تَجْذِبْنِي مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَمَعَ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ ٱلْمُخَاطِبِينَ أَصْحَابَهُمْ بِٱلسَّلَامِ وَٱلشَّرُّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.٣
4 Give them according to their deeds, and the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them their desert!
أَعْطِهِمْ حَسَبَ فِعْلِهِمْ وَحَسَبَ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. حَسَبَ صُنْعِ أَيْدِيهِمْ أَعْطِهِمْ. رُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُعَامَلَتَهُمْ.٤
5 For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again build them up.
لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَنْتَبِهُوا إِلَى أَفْعَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا إِلَى أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْهِ، يَهْدِمُهُمْ وَلَا يَبْنِيهِمْ.٥
6 Praised be the LORD, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications!
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي.٦
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will praise him.
ٱلرَّبُّ عِزِّي وَتُرْسِي. عَلَيْهِ ٱتَّكَلَ قَلْبِي، فَٱنْتَصَرْتُ. وَيَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي وَبِأُغْنِيَتِي أَحْمَدُهُ.٧
8 Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of his anointed.
ٱلرَّبُّ عِزٌّ لَهُمْ، وَحِصْنُ خَلَاصِ مَسِيحِهِ هُوَ.٨
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; Feed them also, and build them up for ever!
خَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ، وَبَارِكْ مِيرَاثَكَ، وَٱرْعَهُمْ وَٱحْمِلْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.٩
