Psalmorum 28

1 Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me: nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

2 Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

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.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

4 Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis; redde retributionem eorum ipsis.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

6 Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

7 Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus; in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum: et refloruit caro mea, et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

8 Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.

The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

9 Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
