Psalms 28

1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.

上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

2 Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.

當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

3 Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.

求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].

願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

5 Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!

他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!

上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

7 Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.

上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.

上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

9 Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.

求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。
