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.
(Af David.) Jeg råber til dig, o Herre, min Klippe, vær ikke tavs imod mig, at jeg ej, når du tier, skal blive som de, der synker i Graven.
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.
Hør min tryglende Røst, når jeg råber til dig, løfter Hænderne op mod dit hellige Tempel.
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.
Riv mig ej bort med gudløse, Udådsmænd, som har ondt i Sinde mod Næsten trods venlige Ord.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Løn dem for deres Idræt og onde Gerninger; løn dem for deres Hænders Værk, gengæld dem efter Fortjeneste!
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!
Thi HERRENs Gerning ænser de ikke, ej heller hans Hænders Værk. Han nedbryde dem og opbygge dem ej!
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Lovet være HERREN, thi han har hørt min tryglende Røst;
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.
min Styrke, mit Skjold er HERREN, mit Hjerte stoler på ham. Jeg fik Hjælp, mit Hjerte jubler, jeg takker ham med min Sang.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
HERREN er Værn for sit Folk, sin Salvedes Tilflugt og Frelse.
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.
Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv, røgt dem og bær dem til evig Tid!
