Psalm 28
1 [Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD su langoeyu, nga pang nu sum. Lohng tung luk! Kom fin tia topukyu, Nga ac fah welulos su tufokla nu infulan misa.
[A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Lohngyu ke nga pang in suk kasru sum, Ke nga asroeak pouk nu ke Tempul mutal sum.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3 Nikmet nununkeyu yurin mwet koluk, Yurin mwet su oru ma koluk — Mwet su kulang na likin pusraclos, A insialos sessesla ke srunga.
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evils are in their hearts.
4 Sang kai nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, Ke ma koluk elos orala. Kaelos ke ma nukewa elos oru. Sang nu selos topken orekma koluk lalos!
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.
5 Elos tiana lohang nu ke ma LEUM GOD El oru Ku nu ke orekma lun paol. Ke ma inge El ac fah kaelos Ac kunauselosla nwe tok.
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.
6 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, Tuh El lohng pusren kwafe luk.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.
7 LEUM GOD El karinginyu ac kasreyu; Nga lulalfongi in El. El kasreyu ac akenganyeyu; Nga kaksakunul ke pusren on in engan.
The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
8 LEUM GOD El karingin mwet lal; El kasru ac molela tokosra su El sulela.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9 LEUM GOD, molela mwet lom, Ac akinsewowoyalos su ma lom. Kom in mwet shepherd lalos, Ac karinganulos nwe tok ma pahtpat.
Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
