Psalms 28

1 Of David to you O Yahweh - I call out O rock my may not you be deaf from me lest you should be silent from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down [the] pit.

[By David.] To you, Jehovah, 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.

2 Hear [the] sound of supplications my when cry for help I to you when lift up I hands my to [the] innermost room of holiness your.

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

3 May not you drag away me with wicked [people] and with [those who] do wickedness [who] speak peace with neighbors their and evil [is] in heart their.

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

4 Requite to them according to work their and according to [the] wickedness of deeds their according to [the] work of hands their requite to them repay recompense their to them.

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.

5 For not they consider [the] deeds of Yahweh and to [the] work of hands his he will tear down them and not he will rebuild them.

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

6 [be] blessed Yahweh for he has heard [the] sound of supplications my.

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

7 Yahweh - [is] strength my and shield my in him it has trusted heart my and I was helped and it exulted heart my and from song my I will give thanks to him.

Jehovah 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.

8 Yahweh [is] strength of them and [is] [the] refuge of [the] salvation of anointed his he.

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

9 Save! - people your and bless inheritance your and shepherd them and carry them until perpetuity.

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