< 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.
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, will I call; my rock, be not thou deaf unto me: lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
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 me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; which speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief 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.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: give them after the operation of their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall break them down and not build them up.
6 Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
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 hath trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will praise him.
8 Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.
The LORD is their strength, and he is a strong hold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and bear them up for ever.
