Psalmorum 28
1 Psalmus David. Ad te Domine clamabo, Deus meus ne sileas a me: ne quando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.
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 Exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te: dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands towards your Most Holy Place.
3 Ne simul tradas me cum peccatoribus: et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me: Qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.
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 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 according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum eius destrues illos, et non aedificabis eos.
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 Benedictus Dominus: quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae.
Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7 Dominus adiutor meus, et protector meus: et in ipso speravit cor meum, et adiutus sum. Et refloruit caro mea: et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.
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 Dominus fortitudo plebis suae: et protector salvationum christi sui est.
The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Salvum fac populum tuum Domine, et benedic hereditati tuae: et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
