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.
A ti clamo, oh Señor, mi Roca; no me niegues tu respuesta, para que no llegue a ser como aquellos que descienden al inframundo.
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.
Escucha la voz de mi oración, cuando te clamo, cuando mis manos se eleven a tu lugar santo.
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.
No me lleven lejos con los pecadores y los trabajadores del mal, que dicen palabras de paz a sus vecinos, pero el mal está en sus corazones.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Dales la recompensa conforme a la perversidad de los sus actos y de sus maldades: dales castigo conforme a las obras de sus manos.
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!
Porque no tienen respeto por las obras del Señor, ni por las cosas que sus manos han hecho, serán destruidos y no los vuelva a levantar.
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Que el Señor sea alabado, porque ha escuchado la voz de mi oración.
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.
El Señor es mi fortaleza y mi coraza, mi corazón tenía fe en él y él me ayudó; por esta causa, mi corazón está lleno de gozo, y lo alabaré en mi canción.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
El Señor es la fortaleza de su pueblo, y un fuerte lugar de salvación para su ungido.
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.
Sé un salvador para tu pueblo, y envía una bendición sobre tu herencia: sé su guía, y sustentalos para siempre.
