תהילים 28
| לדוד אליך יהוה אקרא-- צורי אל-תחרש ממני פן-תחשה ממני ונמשלתי עם-יורדי בור | 1 |
A psalm of David. Lord, my rock, I'm calling out to you. Please listen to me! For if you don't respond, I'll be like those who go down into the grave.
| שמע קול תחנוני בשועי אליך בנשאי ידי אל-דביר קדשך | 2 |
Listen as I appeal for mercy, as I call for help, as I hold up my hands in prayer towards your holy Temple.
| אל-תמשכני עם-רשעים ועם-פעלי-און דברי שלום עם-רעיהם ורעה בלבבם | 3 |
Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak nicely to their neighbors while in their minds they're plotting evil.
| תן-להם כפעלם וכרע מעלליהם כמעשה ידיהם תן להם השב גמולם להם | 4 |
Give them what they deserve for their evil actions. Pay them back for what they've done. Give them the reward they've earned!
| כי לא יבינו אל-פעלת יהוה-- ואל-מעשה ידיו יהרסם ולא יבנם | 5 |
For they don't pay any attention to what the Lord does, or to what he created. So he will destroy them—they will never be restored.
| ברוך יהוה כי-שמע קול תחנוני | 6 |
Praise the Lord! For he has heard my appeal for mercy!
| יהוה עזי ומגני-- בו בטח לבי ונעזרתי ויעלז לבי ומשירי אהודנו | 7 |
The Lord is my strength and my shield. I trust in him and he helps me. I'm so happy, and I sing my thanks to him.
| יהוה עז-למו ומעוז ישועות משיחו הוא | 8 |
The Lord gives strength to his people; he is a safe refuge for the one he has anointed.
| הושיעה את-עמך-- וברך את-נחלתך ורעם ונשאם עד-העולם | 9 |
Save your people! Bless your “special possession”! Be their shepherd and carry them in your arms forever!
