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. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 exaudi vocem deprecationis meae dum oro ad te dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum
Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.
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
Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbors is friendly, while evil is in their heart.
4 da illis secundum opera ipsorum et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis redde retributionem eorum ipsis
Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.
5 quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini et in opera manuum eius destrues illos et non aedificabis eos
They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.
6 benedictus Dominus quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meae
Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.
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 shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.
8 Dominus fortitudo plebis suae et protector salvationum christi sui est
The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.
9 salvam fac plebem tuam et benedic hereditati tuae et rege eos et extolle eos usque in aeternum
O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
