Psalmorum 28
1 huic David ad te Domine clamabo Deus meus ne sileas a me nequando taceas a me et adsimilabor descendentibus in lacum
Of David. My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.
2 exaudi vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum
Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.
3 ne simul tradas me cum peccatoribus et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdideris me qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo mala autem sunt in cordibus eorum
Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
4 da illis secundum opera ipsorum et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis redde retributionem eorum ipsis
Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.
5 quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini et in opera manuum eius destrues illos et non aedificabis eos
Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.
6 benedictus Dominus quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae
May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.
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 strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.
8 Dominus fortitudo plebis suae et protector salvationum christi sui est
The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.
9 salvam fac plebem tuam et benedic hereditati tuae et rege eos et extolle eos usque in aeternum
Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
