Psalms 28

1 David’s. Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, —lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who 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 supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.

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

3 Do not drag me away—with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, —who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is 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 them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices, —According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.

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

5 Because they heed not The Deeds of Yahweh, or the Work of his hands, he will pull them down, and not build them.

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

6 Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

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

7 Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, —Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.

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

8 Yahweh, is strength to his people, —And, the all-saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he!

Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.

9 Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age-abiding.

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