תהילים 28

1 לדוד אליך יהוה אקרא-- צורי אל-תחרש ממני פן-תחשה ממני ונמשלתי עם-יורדי בור

By David. To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

2 שמע קול תחנוני בשועי אליך בנשאי ידי אל-דביר קדשך

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands towards your Most Holy Place.

3 אל-תמשכני עם-רשעים ועם-פעלי-און דברי שלום עם-רעיהם ורעה בלבבם

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 תן-להם כפעלם וכרע מעלליהם כמעשה ידיהם תן להם השב גמולם להם

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

5 כי לא יבינו אל-פעלת יהוה-- ואל-מעשה ידיו יהרסם ולא יבנם

Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

6 ברוך יהוה כי-שמע קול תחנוני

Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

7 יהוה עזי ומגני-- בו בטח לבי ונעזרתי ויעלז לבי ומשירי אהודנו

The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

8 יהוה עז-למו ומעוז ישועות משיחו הוא

The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 הושיעה את-עמך-- וברך את-נחלתך ורעם ונשאם עד-העולם

Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
