Psalmorum 28
1 Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te Domine clamabo, Deus meus ne sileas a me: ne quando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.
[A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te: dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
3 Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus: et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me: Qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
4 Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis: redde retributionem eorum ipsis.
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 unto them.
5 Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum eius destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
6 Benedictus Dominus: quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
7 Dominus adiutor meus, et protector meus: in ipso speravit cor meum, et adiutus sum. Et refloruit caro mea: et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.
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 Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ: et protector salvationum Christi sui est.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9 Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et benedic hereditati tuæ: et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
