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.
Davidov. K tebi, o Jahve, vapijem, hridino moja, ne ogluši se na me: da neuslišan ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze.
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.
Čuj moje zazivanje dok tebi vapijem, dok ruke uzdižem svetomu Hramu tvojem.
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.
Ne uzmi me s bezbožnicima i s onima koji čine bezakonje, koji govore slatko s bližnjima a u srcu im je pakost.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Daj im po djelima njihovim i po zloći njihovih nedjela! Po djelu ruku njihovih plati im, uzvrati im po njihovoj zasluzi!
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!
Jer ne mare za čine Jahvine ni za djelo ruku njegovih: nek' ih obori i više ne podigne!
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Blagoslovljen Jahve što usliša zazivanje moje! Jahve mi je zaklon, on štit je moj.
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.
U njega se srce moje pouzdalo i pomoć mi dođe; zato mi kliče srce i pjesmom njega slavim.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
Jahve je jakost narodu svome, tvrđava spasa svom pomazaniku.
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.
Spasi narod svoj i blagoslovi svoju baštinu, pasi ih i nosi ih dovijeka!
